| 1996 | £38,000 | £80,140 | 219 |
| 1995 | £36,500 | £79,345 | 156 |
In cash terms the typical NE28 8 home went from £36,500 in 1995 to £162,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 104%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE28 8 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 (+35.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−9.4%). 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) | −5.3% | −7.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.8% |
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
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.
The register shows 45 NE28 8 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 237 sales a year before the financial crisis and 114 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 tenants pay around NE28 8
For renting purposes NE28 8 sits in North Tyneside. The ONS average private rent there is £838 a month (May 2026). 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.
£838 a month is £10,056 a year, which against the £162,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.2%. 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 shape of the NE28 8 market
This is a thin market: 45 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.

What another bedroom costs in NE
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NE area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
