In cash terms the typical NE28 home went from £36,500 in 1995 to £165,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 108%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NE28 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 (+43.5% 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, 33% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £287,500 against £90,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

What NE28 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.1% | +0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in NE28
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 431 sales completed in NE28. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,140 sales a year before the financial crisis and 565 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.
What homes rent for around NE28
NE28 falls under North Tyneside, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £165,000 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 6.1% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in NE
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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
