Overall Since 1995
Land Registry has recorded 111,338 Cheltenham property sales from 1995 to August 2026, with a mean price of £271,204, ranging from £100 up to £73,240,000. The typical (median) sale in Cheltenham was £60,000 in 1995 and £344,500 in 2025. The charts and table below show every year in between, overall and by property type, and the figures are not adjusted for inflation. The current year is a part year, so its sales count is lower than a full year’s.
Notes
Other exclusion is based on Land Registry’s own property type classification which seems to indicate non-domestic buildings and should be treated as a indicative and not a guaranteed commercial/residential split.
Recently completed sales may take 2-3 months to appear, so comparisons only use complete months, and a year that isn’t over yet is compared with the same months of the year before.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Average House Price in Cheltenham?
- The median sale price over the latest 12 months is £350,000, from 2,807 sales. The median is the middle price, so a few very expensive sales don't pull it up the way they do an average.
Where Do the House Prices Come From?
- HM Land Registry's Price Paid Data, which records the price of every residential sale in England and Wales once it is registered, back to 1995.
Why Do the Latest Months Look Quiet?
- A sale only appears once it has been registered with the Land Registry, which can take weeks or months after completion, so the most recent months keep filling in as late registrations arrive.
