Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on NP25: steady sales, so price from the evidence
Roughly 18 homes a month change hands in NP25, a pace that gives buyers and sellers something to compare, without a year-on-year figure we would stand behind.
If you are selling, most NP25 sales sit between £194,200 and £647,300, which makes £320,000 a blunt instrument, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseIf you are buying, typical prices in NP25 sit above the UK average, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.
Before an offer goes in on any NP25 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (104 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,443 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free NP25 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Forest of Dean (NP25) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £440,000 against £165,000 for flats: about 2.7 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £194,200 and £647,300, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (92%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 18 recorded sales a month.

These are Forest of Dean's charges for 2026-27, the authority NP25 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.

What it costs to run a home in NP25, band by band
Forest of Dean's council tax for 2026-27 set against the NP25 median sold price of £320,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearForest of Dean | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £320,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,629 | £136 | 0.51% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,900 | £158 | 0.59% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,887 | £407 | 1.53% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the NP25 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.
