In cash terms the typical NE4 9 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £275,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 201%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 6% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NE4 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 2026 (+39.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2000 (−12.9%). 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) | +39.0% | +35.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.4% | +1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The register shows 24 NE4 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 220 sales a year before the financial crisis and 87 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.
The rental side of NE4 9
For renting purposes NE4 9 sits in Newcastle upon Tyne. The ONS average private rent there is £1,204 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £806 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,825 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Newcastle upon Tyne
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £275,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,204 a month (£14,448 a year) works out at a 5.3% 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.
Reading the NE4 9 market
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NE4 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within NE4, this sector trades 70% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 19% over five years in cash but down 6% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Bedroom by bedroom: NE prices by size
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £239,250 | £322,500 (+35%) | £498,100 (+54%) | £700,000 (+41%) |
