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 £319,000 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 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.

Questions, answered

The NP16 report: your questions

What is the average house price in NP16?
The median sold price in NP16, Forest of Dean was £319,000 across 250 recorded sales between 25 Sept 2025 and 28 Jul 2026. Most sales fell between £209,705 and £585,500. That is the median of real HM Land Registry transactions, not an estimate or a valuation.
How much is council tax in NP16?
NP16 is billed by Forest of Dean, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,443 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band — look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near NP16?
The Department for Education's register lists 8 open schools within 3 km of the NP16 district centre, the nearest being The Dell Primary School. These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid — they are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
Have there been planning applications near NP16?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 57 applications within 500 m of the NP16 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.
Can I see what an individual address in NP16 sold for?
Yes — this page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 250 distinct addresses in the records we hold for NP16, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.
How up to date are the NP16 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 31 July 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Does NP16 cover my exact street?
NP16 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges — not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
