Glasgow house prices and Greater Glasgow rent

The published house price figures for Glasgow and private rent for the Greater Glasgow rental market area, shown with the month they refer to and the body that published them. We have not estimated anything.

House prices cover May 2026 for the local authority area City of Glasgow. Rent covers August 2026 for the Greater Glasgow rental market area.

The rent here covers a different area from the house prices. ONS does not publish private rents for Scottish council areas, so the rent on this page is for the Greater Glasgow rental market area, which takes in more than City of Glasgow. The house price figures do cover City of Glasgow. We label the rent as that area rather than pass it off as a figure for Glasgow.

The figures

Every value below was published by an official body. We have not estimated, adjusted or filled in any of them.

Average house price£189,448May 2026 · HM Land Registry

What the average home in City of Glasgow sold for.

Average monthly private rent£1,266August 2026 · Office for National Statistics

The average monthly private rent ONS publishes for the Greater Glasgow rental market area.

Covers the Greater Glasgow rental market area, which is wider than City of Glasgow. ONS does not publish rent for Scottish council areas. ONS bases Scottish rents mainly on advertised new lets, so compare them with England and Wales with care.

Change over the year+2.5%May 2026 · HM Land Registry

How that average has moved over the previous twelve months.

Change over the month+1.9%May 2026 · HM Land Registry

Month-to-month movement, which is noisy in smaller areas.

How that compares

  • Against the wider region: About 3% below the Scotland average of £195,543.
  • Against the UK as a whole: About 30% below the UK average of £271,295.

Each comparison is our own arithmetic on two published figures from the same release and the same month — not a separately published statistic.

A single monthly house price figure for one local authority moves around more than a regional or national one, because far fewer homes are sold into it. A large jump or fall in one month is more often a change in which properties happened to sell than a change in what any given home is worth.
