Blaydon market report NE21 5, Blaydon-On-Tyne
The standing NE21 5 (Blaydon) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 2,553 sales registered with HM Land Registry in NE21 5 (Blaydon-On-Tyne) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 28 registered 2026 sales put the NE21 5 (Blaydon-On-Tyne) median at £174,500, up 10% on five years earlier, with a mean of £181,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,100 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,553 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
NE21 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside NE21 (Blaydon-On-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 NE21 5 home went from £37,300 in 1995 to £174,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 115%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NE21 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 2007 (+35.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−9.8%). 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) | +9.1% | +6.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in NE21 5
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.
NE21 5 recorded 28 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 89 sales a year recently, against 91 a year before 2008. 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 kind of market NE21 5 is
This is a thin market: 28 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.
Rents around NE21 5
NE21 5 falls under Gateshead, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £790 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £581 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,179, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £174,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.4%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: NE prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the NE area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |

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.
