In cash terms the typical NE12 5 home went from £30,500 in 1995 to £155,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 134%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 48% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NE12 5 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 1997 (+92.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−28.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −28.9% | −30.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −6.4% | −10.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.9% | −1.8% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 17 sales completed in NE12 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 62 sales a year before the financial crisis and 43 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.
What homes rent for around NE12 5
For renting purposes NE12 5 sits in North Tyneside. The ONS average private rent there is £838 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £577 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,197, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, North Tyneside
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £155,000 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 6.5% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
What kind of market NE12 5 is
Only 17 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NE12 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the NE12 district median, NE12 5 sits 22% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

How much did a house sell for in NE12 5 (Longbenton)?
Where do NE12 5 prices go next?

On the market in NE12 today
Turning to what is actually available: 46 homes on the market right now, from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole NE12 district, not just NE12 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
2% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: NE prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the NE area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £239,250 | £322,500 (+35%) | £498,100 (+54%) | £700,000 (+41%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
