NE17 7 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside NE17 (Newcastle Upon Tyne). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical NE17 7 home went from £23,000 in 1995 to £101,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 103%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 39% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NE17 7 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 2002 (+131.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2003 (−33.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −22.9% | −24.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.7% | −5.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.6% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in NE17 7
How many homes change hands
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, 26 sales completed in NE17 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 147 sales a year before the financial crisis and 78 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.
Rents around NE17 7
For renting purposes NE17 7 sits in Gateshead. The ONS average private rent there is £790 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £581 a month here against £1,179 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Gateshead
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £101,500 median sold price, £790 a month is £9,480 a year, a gross yield of 9.3%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
Reading the NE17 7 market
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NE17 7 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.

What you could buy in NE17 now
The live side of the market holds 3 homes at the moment, listed by an agent publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole NE17 district, not just NE17 7: live asking prices are collected per district.
33% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. 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.

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.
Moving up a bedroom in NE: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NE area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

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.
