Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on WR13: a quiet market, so take your time
At around 12 sales a month, WR13 is quiet, which gives us little to generalise from, so read the middle figure with caution and the individual sales with interest.
If you are thinking of selling, with detached homes at £500,000 and terraced homes at £255,000, the £205,850 to £749,955 spread is really several markets, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check; a quick cash sale buys certainty at a cost, usually about 70–85% of market value as a rough guide, not a quote, so weigh it carefully.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, WR13 sits well above the UK average for typical prices, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (309 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,443 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free WR13 OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the Forest of Dean (WR13) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £500,000 against £255,000 for terraced homes: about 2.0 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £205,850 and £749,955, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (96%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 12 recorded sales a month.

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.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled WR13 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 7, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
WR13 6QT, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
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 WR13 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in WR13: 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. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

What it costs to run a home in WR13, band by band
Forest of Dean's council tax for 2026-27 set against the WR13 median sold price of £449,975 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the WR13 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.
