NE6 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside NE6 (Newcastle Upon Tyne). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical NE6 2 home went from £25,000 in 1995 to £110,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 102%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NE6 2 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 2016 (+66.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−30.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +10.0% | +7.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.2% | +0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.5% | −2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
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.
NE6 2 recorded 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 155 sales a year before the financial crisis and 54 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of NE6 2
The local authority for NE6 2 is Newcastle upon Tyne, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,204 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £806 a month here against £1,825 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Newcastle upon Tyne
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,204 a month is £14,448 a year, which against the £110,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 13.1%. 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 NE6 2 market
This is a thin market: 29 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 NE6 district median, NE6 2 sits 38% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

How much did a house sell for in NE6 2 (Heaton)?
Are property prices falling in NE6 2 (Heaton)?
Are NE6 2 prices heading up or down?

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.

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

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
