Cheltenham property market

Cheltenham is in Gloucestershire, covering about 12 square miles.

The median asking price across the 853 homes for sale in Cheltenham is £395,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £250,000 and £675,000. That is 3% above Gloucestershire. Homes that actually sold in Cheltenham went for a median £322,375 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).

Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Cheltenham is up 48% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

No: asking prices in Cheltenham are typically higher than across Gloucestershire. The median asking price in Cheltenham is £395,000 against £385k across Gloucestershire: 3% above Gloucestershire. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. Entry-level prices are close to Gloucestershire's; the gap opens further up the market.
