In cash terms the typical NE46 3 home went from £51,500 in 1995 to £249,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 122%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2008; the current median sits about 28% below that. Someone who bought at the 2008 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NE46 3 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 2024 (+62.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−24.6%). 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) | −19.9% | −21.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.0% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in NE46 3
Sales per year, counted
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 3 recorded 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 101 sales a year before the financial crisis and 56 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 NE46 3
The local authority for NE46 3 is Northumberland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £679 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £483 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,107, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Northumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £249,000 median purchase price, a rent of £679 a month (£8,148 a year) works out at a 3.3% 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.
How NE46 3 trades
This is a thin market: 23 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. 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. Against the NE46 district median, NE46 3 sits 16% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

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. 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.

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

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
