How Grove Park, Lydney prices moved
The chart tracks the median Grove Park, Lydney house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2020. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £74,000 | £164,315 |
| 2000s | 1 | £159,000 | £289,651 |
| 2020s | 1 | £282,500 | £288,641 |
The highest yearly median on record for Grove Park, Lydney is £282,500 in 2020; the lowest is £74,000 in 1999. Across the full 22-year record the cash median has moved from £74,000 to £282,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £150,780, so the real change over the whole record is +142.6% — about +4.31% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +77.7% in cash against +21.7% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Grove Park, Lydney values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Grove Park, Lydney is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 45 | 81.8% | £140,000 | £66,000 – £310,000 |
| Semi-detached | 10 | 18.2% | £78,000 | £59,000 – £167,950 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Grove Park, Lydney
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 55 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 55 | 100.0% | £140,000 |
| New build | 22 | 40.0% | £77,000 |
| Existing home | 33 | 60.0% | £177,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -56.6%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 1 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in Grove Park, Lydney
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Forest of Dean, 38.6% of 39,729 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 10.3% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 452 | 1.1% |
| B | 5,467 | 13.8% |
| C | 9,410 | 23.7% |
| D | 12,580 | 31.7% |
| E | 7,732 | 19.5% |
| F | 3,095 | 7.8% |
| G | 993 | 2.5% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Forest of Dean at £824 a month as of Jun 2026 — £591 for a one-bedroom home and £954 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £140,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.06% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
No street-level crime was published for GL15 in Jun 2026 by Gloucestershire. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.

Within Lydney the street ranks 229 of 332 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £160,000 (-12.5%).

The full range on record runs from £59,000 to £310,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Grove Park, Lydney sits in Forest of Dean, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Forest of Dean at 8.2 times median local earnings of £33,474 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Grove Park, Lydney?
The median price paid in Grove Park, Lydney across every sale on the register is £140,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Grove Park, Lydney?
55 sales are on record for Grove Park, Lydney, the most recent completing on 4 Sep 2020. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Grove Park, Lydney house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +77.7% between 2003 and 2020. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +21.7%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Grove Park, Lydney house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £282,500, set in 2020. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Grove Park, Lydney?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 4 Sep 2020. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
