In cash terms the typical NE24 home went from £35,500 in 1995 to £154,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 100%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE24 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 2004 (+27.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−14.0%). 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) | +3.0% | +0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £254,500 against £75,500 for a flat, 3.4 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Month by month, five years back
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, 421 sales completed in NE24. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 833 sales a year before the financial crisis and 526 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.
Rents around NE24
NE24 falls under Northumberland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £679 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £483 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,107 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Northumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £154,000 median purchase price, a rent of £679 a month (£8,148 a year) works out at a 5.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £239,250 | £322,500 (+35%) | £498,100 (+54%) | £700,000 (+41%) |
