Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on NP16: steady sales, so price from the evidence
250 sales since October 2025 make NP16 a steady market, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are thinking of selling, NP16 sales mostly ran from £214,750 to £584,000, so find the sold homes closest to yours and price against those; roughly 24 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, typical prices in NP16 sit above the UK average, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.
On any NP16 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (51 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,443 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.

These are Forest of Dean's charges for 2026-27, the authority NP16 falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so NP16 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in NP16: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 2 returned a row.

Cost to run

What it costs to run a home in NP16, band by band
Forest of Dean's council tax for 2026-27 set against the NP16 median sold price of £325,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,629 | £136 | 0.50% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,900 | £158 | 0.58% |

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the NP16 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
