Acomb market report NE47, Hexham
The NE47 (Acomb) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 3,284 HM Land Registry entries for NE47 (Hexham), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 29 registered 2026 sales put the NE47 (Hexham) median at £290,000, up 18% on five years earlier, with a mean of £354,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,570 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,284 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
NE47 is a postcode district covering Acomb, Hexhamshire in Hexham. It is the most useful size for market figures: tight enough to describe somewhere real, large enough that sales keep coming and the medians hold steady.

Price per square metre in NE47

In cash terms the typical NE47 home went from £63,500 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 110%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 30% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NE47 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 2004 (+52.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−21.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. In 2002, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £176,000 against £68,500 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 76 sales completed in NE47. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 125 sales a year before the financial crisis and 85 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around NE47
For renting purposes NE47 sits in Northumberland. The ONS average private rent there is £679 a month (May 2026). 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.
£679 a month is £8,148 a year, which against the £290,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.8%. 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.
The shape of the NE47 market
Only 76 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NE47 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. NE47 sits 10 of 59 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
Common questions on NE47 (Acomb)
How much did a house sell for in NE47 (Acomb)?
Are property prices falling in NE47 (Acomb)?
Is NE47 (Acomb) a good place to buy a house?

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 18% over five years in cash but down 7% 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
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%) |
| 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.
