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 Priory Lea, Ross-on-wye values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Priory Lea, Ross-on-wye 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 | 30 | 52.6% | £230,000 | £79,000 – £465,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 22 | 38.6% | £179,000 | £51,000 – £285,000 |
| Terraced | 5 | 8.8% | £176,000 | £65,000 – £258,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Priory Lea, Ross-on-wye
22 of the sales on record are leasehold and 35 freehold — 38.6% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £183,250 and the median freehold sale £228,000 — a gap of +24.4%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 22 | 38.6% | £183,250 |
| Freehold | 35 | 61.4% | £228,000 |
| New build | 3 | 5.3% | £95,000 |
| Existing home | 54 | 94.7% | £213,750 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -55.6%. 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.
Section 07
Living in Priory Lea, Ross-on-wye
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 £207,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 4.78% 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.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of HR9, 72 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 25 violent, 2 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 12 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.3 times quieter.
Against the 87,004 residents the 2021 census counted in Forest of Dean, that is 0.83 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Priory Lea, Ross-on-wye
The 2021 census counted 87,004 residents in Forest of Dean across 37,217 households. 73.5% of those households own their home and 26.5% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
12 state and independent schools have a HR9 postcode: 11 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Priory Lea, Ross-on-wye sits in Forest of Dean, in the West Midlands.
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 Priory Lea, Ross-on-wye?
The median price paid in Priory Lea, Ross-on-wye across every sale on the register is £207,000. 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 Priory Lea, Ross-on-wye?
57 sales are on record for Priory Lea, Ross-on-wye, the most recent completing on 11 Feb 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Priory Lea, Ross-on-wye house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +218.8% between 1995 and 2006. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +155.6%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Priory Lea, Ross-on-wye house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £255,000, set in 2006. 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 Priory Lea, Ross-on-wye?
£2,234 per square metre, from the 3 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 11 Feb 2026. 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.
