The NE42 (Prudhoe) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 6,108 sales registered with HM Land Registry in NE42 (Prudhoe) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 58 registered 2026 sales put the NE42 (Prudhoe) median at £164,800, down 10% on five years earlier, with a mean of £201,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,100 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 6,108 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
The postcode district NE42 covering Prudhoe sits in Prudhoe. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

NE42 sold prices: where the market stands
Across 58 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) NE42 home went for £164,800. The mean is £201,000, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
Price per square metre in NE42
A square metre of NE42 home has cost about £2,100 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so NE42 trades 42% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical NE42 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £164,800 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 68%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2004, and today's median remains roughly 37% under it: a 2004 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NE42 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 (+36.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−14.3%). 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) | −1.9% | −4.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.0% | −6.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.4% | −2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.8% | −2.0% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 35% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £295,000 against £101,200 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 133 sales completed in NE42. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 285 sales a year before the financial crisis and 146 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.
What homes rent for around NE42
The local authority for NE42 is Northumberland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £679 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £483 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,107 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Northumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£679 a month is £8,148 a year, which against the £164,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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.
Reading the NE42 market
Only 133 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NE42 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.

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 10% over five years in cash but down 29% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
Bedroom by bedroom: NE prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the NE area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £239,250 | £322,500 (+35%) | £498,100 (+54%) | £700,000 (+41%) |
| Semi-detached | £157,000 | £168,000 (+7%) | £216,000 (+29%) | £335,000 (+55%) | £521,000 (+56%) |
| Terraced | £127,500 | £136,000 (+7%) | £170,000 (+25%) | £282,250 (+66%) | £393,500 (+39%) |
| Flat | £95,000 | £127,980 (+35%) | £190,000 (+48%) | £340,000 (+79%) | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
