In cash terms the typical NE29 9 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £222,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 117%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NE29 9 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 (+42.9% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−10.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.0% | −7.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 30 NE29 9 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 145 sales a year before the financial crisis and 76 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.
The shape of the NE29 9 market
Only 30 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NE29 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within NE29, this sector trades 17% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around NE29 9
The local authority for NE29 9 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.
Set against the £222,000 median sold price, £838 a month is £10,056 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.

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.
