In the NE26 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £330,000, from 75 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £334,900, sitting nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.
NE26 prices by floor area

| 1996 | £58,000 | £122,319 | 395 |
| 1995 | £53,600 | £116,518 | 326 |
In cash terms the typical NE26 home went from £53,600 in 1995 to £330,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 183%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE26 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 (+40.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−9.1%). 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, 44% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £530,000 against £191,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.0% | −9.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
How many homes change hands in NE26
The year-by-year sales count
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.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 202 NE26 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 497 sales a year before the financial crisis and 266 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
NE26 falls under North Tyneside, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £577 a month here against £1,197 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, North Tyneside
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £330,000 median sold price, £838 a month is £10,056 a year, a gross yield of 3.0%: 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.
The shape of the NE26 market
Among the 59 measurable districts of its area, NE26 ranks 7 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 17% over five years in cash but down 8% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

The price of an extra bedroom in NE
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NE area. 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%) |
| 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.
