In cash terms the typical NE46 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £297,200 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 82%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NE46 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 (+29.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−20.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NE46 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.3% | −0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 32% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £427,800 against £99,200 for a flat, 4.3 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
NE46 recorded 191 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 326 sales a year before the financial crisis and 208 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.
The shape of the NE46 market
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. Among the 59 measurable districts of its area, NE46 ranks 8 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
The rental side of NE46
The local authority for NE46 is Northumberland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Set against the £297,200 median sold price, £679 a month is £8,148 a year, a gross yield of 2.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Moving up a bedroom in NE: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NE area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |

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.
