In cash terms the typical NE46 1 home went from £64,500 in 1995 to £254,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 81%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 27% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE46 1 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 2017 (+41.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−14.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NE46 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.1% | +5.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.6% | −6.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
Sales activity in NE46 1
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
NE46 1 recorded 24 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 89 sales a year before the financial crisis and 66 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.
Reading the NE46 1 market
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NE46 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 NE46, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of NE46 1
NE46 1 falls under Northumberland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £679 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £483 a month here against £1,107 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Northumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £254,000 median purchase price, a rent of £679 a month (£8,148 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.

What another bedroom costs 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.

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

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
