The 2026 median for NE17 is £101,500, taken from 26 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £122,400, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
House prices per square metre in NE17
A square metre of NE17 home has cost about £1,590 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

In cash terms the typical NE17 home went from £23,000 in 1995 to £101,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 103%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 39% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE17 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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 69% of the typed total. In 2009, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £198,500 against £98,000 for a flat, 2.0 times the price.

What NE17 has returned, per year
| 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% |
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.
How many homes change hands in NE17
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 57 sales completed in NE17. 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.
Reading the NE17 market
Only 57 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NE17 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. By median price NE17 sits at the bottom of its postcode area: the cheapest way in, with the least expectation already in the price.
What homes rent for around NE17
NE17 falls under Gateshead, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
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.

Bedroom by bedroom: NE prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NE area, 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%) |

| Flat | £95,000 | £127,980 (+35%) | £190,000 (+48%) | £340,000 (+79%) | — |
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.
