In cash terms the typical NE16 4 home went from £58,500 in 1995 to £156,000 in 2026, roughly 2.7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 23%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 47% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NE16 4 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 2003 (+62.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−25.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −25.2% | −26.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.8% | −9.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.2% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | −0.3% | −3.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 32 NE16 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 132 sales a year before the financial crisis and 81 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the NE16 4 market
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NE16 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What tenants pay around NE16 4
The local authority for NE16 4 is Gateshead, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £790 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £581 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,179 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Gateshead
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£790 a month is £9,480 a year, which against the £156,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.1%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in NE: the cost
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.
| 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
