In cash terms the typical NE33 4 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £95,200 in 2026, roughly 3.0 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 37%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 41% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NE33 4 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 2004 (+34.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−11.0%). 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) | −10.4% | −12.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.5% | −2.3% |
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 NE33 4
How many homes change hands
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, 32 sales completed in NE33 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 215 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 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.
How NE33 4 trades
This is a thin market: 32 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. Within NE33, this sector trades 21% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around NE33 4
For renting purposes NE33 4 sits in South Tyneside. The ONS average private rent there is £726 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £508 a month here against £1,006 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, South Tyneside
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£726 a month is £8,712 a year, which against the £95,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 9.2%. 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 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. 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
