| 1996 | £39,500 | £83,304 | 275 |
| 1995 | £37,300 | £81,084 | 216 |
In cash terms the typical NE21 home went from £37,300 in 1995 to £170,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 110%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2010. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE21 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 (+26.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−6.1%). 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, 43% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £272,000 against £91,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.3% | +3.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
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.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
NE21 recorded 203 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 326 sales a year before the financial crisis and 242 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 NE21
The local authority for NE21 is Gateshead, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £790 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£790 a month is £9,480 a year, which against the £170,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.6%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in NE
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%) |

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.
