Newcastle upon Tyne market report NE
The NE (Newcastle upon Tyne) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 575,109 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in the NE postcode area (Newcastle upon Tyne) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the 2026 median for the NE postcode area (Newcastle upon Tyne) is £188,000, from 5,716 registered sales, up 8% on five years earlier; the mean is £230,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,270 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 575,109 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
The figures for NE centred on Newcastle upon Tyne run across 59 districts, the broad sweep by design. For a specific place, drop down to its district report below.

What NE homes really sell for
In the NE property market, the 2026 median sale price is £188,000, from 5,716 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £230,800, sitting well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
What a square metre costs in NE
Measured by floor area, the last five years of NE sales average about £2,270 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, NE sits 34% below the national market.

| 1995 | £44,500 | £96,736 | 14,826 |
In cash terms the typical NE home went from £44,500 in 1995 to £188,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 94%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+25.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−5.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 33% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £335,000 against £118,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 12,423 sales completed in NE. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 24,701 sales a year before the financial crisis and 14,752 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Reading the NE market
Turnover here is strong: 12,423 sales in the last twelve months of data, enough that the medians rest on a genuinely broad base and one street cannot move the figure.
What tenants pay around NE
For renting purposes NE sits in Northumberland, the local authority covering most of the NE area (parts fall under Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead, where rents differ). The ONS average private rent there is £679 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £483 a month here against £1,107 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Northumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£679 a month is £8,148 a year, which against the £188,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 8% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What is for sale in NE right now
Everything above is what homes in NE sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 821 homes on the market right now, from 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 14% above the NE median sold price.
24% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

- Alnmouth Road, Alnwick
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: NE prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NE area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £239,250 | £322,500 (+35%) | £498,100 (+54%) | £700,000 (+41%) |
| Semi-detached | £157,000 | £168,000 (+7%) | £216,000 (+29%) | £335,000 (+55%) | £521,000 (+56%) |
| Terraced | £127,500 | £136,000 (+7%) | £170,000 (+25%) | £282,250 (+66%) | £393,500 (+39%) |
| Flat | £95,000 | £127,980 (+35%) | £190,000 (+48%) | £340,000 (+79%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
The risers and the fallers

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
