In cash terms the typical NE26 1 home went from £56,200 in 1995 to £375,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 207%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE26 1 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 (+42.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−18.2%). 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) | −7.1% | −9.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
NE26 1 recorded 21 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 136 sales a year before the financial crisis and 74 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What kind of market NE26 1 is
Only 21 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NE26 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within NE26, this sector trades 14% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around NE26 1
The local authority for NE26 1 is North Tyneside, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £577 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,197 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Tyneside
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £375,000 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 2.7% 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.

Of everything listed here, 5% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

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. 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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £127,500 | £136,000 (+7%) | £170,000 (+25%) | £282,250 (+66%) | £393,500 (+39%) |
| Flat | £95,000 | £127,980 (+35%) | £190,000 (+48%) | £340,000 (+79%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
