NE6 4 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 4 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £185,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 125%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NE6 4 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 2006 (+30.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +12.4% | +9.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.1% | +1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
How many homes change hands in NE6 4
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 46 NE6 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 204 sales a year before the financial crisis and 97 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.
What kind of market NE6 4 is
This is a thin market: 46 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 rental side of NE6 4
NE6 4 falls under Newcastle upon Tyne, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,204 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £806 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,825 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Newcastle upon Tyne
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £185,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,204 a month (£14,448 a year) works out at a 7.8% 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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NE area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
