Cheltenham market commentary
What the latest official data may mean for buyers, renters and investors.
Cheltenham house prices rose to an average of £332,502 in April 2026, according to the UK House Price Index. That is up from £326,496 in March, giving a monthly rise of 1.8%.
It is also 4.8% higher than a year earlier, which points to firmer annual growth after a softer spell through much of 2025.
Cheltenham’s average private rent reached £1,249 in May 2026, according to the ONS Price Index of Private Rents. That is up from £1,240 in April, so rents rose by £9 in the month.
The monthly increase was 0.7%, which suggests the market is still moving upwards, but not sharply. The annual picture is also positive.
Cheltenham’s labour market looks stronger than the Great Britain average on the latest ONS and Nomis figures. The town had a resident population of 121,739 in 2024, which gives useful context for a sizeable local labour pool and a broad base of households competing for homes and services.
Resident median full-time pay is solid.
