New homes among the homes sold
| Period | In Quedgeley and Hardwicke | Across the GL2 district |
|---|---|---|
| The 12 months to September 2026 | 0 of 322 (0%) | 17 of 797 (2%) |
| The 12 months to September 2025 | 1 of 404 (Under 1%) | 153 of 1,166 (13%) |
Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.
