There are too few years of sales in Verschoyle Gardens, Ross-on-wye to plot a trend line. The figures below are drawn from the whole record rather than a yearly series.

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.

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

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Verschoyle Gardens, Ross-on-wye is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

4 of the sales on record are leasehold and 57 freehold — 6.6% 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 £62,500 and the median freehold sale £108,000 — a gap of +72.8%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

A further 2 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.

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.

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 £105,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 9.42% 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.

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.

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Verschoyle Gardens, Ross-on-wye sits below that national figure — -33.3%.

Within Ross-on-wye the street ranks 286 of 317 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £191,000 (-45.0%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,645 per square metre, across 17 of the 61 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

The full range on record runs from £35,000 to £205,000. 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.

Verschoyle Gardens, 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. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.
