In cash terms the typical NE26 3 home went from £59,100 in 1995 to £355,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 176%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NE26 3 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 (+30.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−11.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.3% | −7.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 25 sales completed in NE26 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 128 sales a year before the financial crisis and 76 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.
The rental side of NE26 3
The local authority for NE26 3 is North Tyneside, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £577 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,197, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, North Tyneside
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £355,000 median sold price, £838 a month is £10,056 a year, a gross yield of 2.8%: 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.
What kind of market NE26 3 is
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NE26 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the NE26 district median, NE26 3 sits 8% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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.

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
