In cash terms the typical NE29 6 home went from £36,200 in 1995 to £155,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 97%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 32% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NE29 6 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 2018 (+64.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−21.2%). 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) | +6.5% | +4.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.1% | −0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −0.9% |
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.
How many homes change hands in NE29 6
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, 47 sales completed in NE29 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 249 sales a year before the financial crisis and 98 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.
How NE29 6 trades
This is a thin market: 47 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within NE29, this sector trades 18% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around NE29 6
The local authority for NE29 6 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 £155,000 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 6.5% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in NE: the cost
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.
