In cash terms the typical NE61 3 home went from £88,000 in 1995 to £365,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 91%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 41% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NE61 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 1999 (+36.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−22.4%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.4% | +0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.5% |
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.
Sales activity in NE61 3
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
NE61 3 recorded 30 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 75 sales a year over the last five years against 53 before the financial crisis. 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.
Rents around NE61 3
The local authority for NE61 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.
Set against the £365,000 median sold price, £679 a month is £8,148 a year, a gross yield of 2.2%: 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.
What kind of market NE61 3 is
This is a thin market: 30 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. Against the NE61 district median, NE61 3 sits 52% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Is NE61 3 (Tranwell) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in NE61 3 (Tranwell)?
Are property prices falling in NE61 3 (Tranwell)?
What happens to NE61 3 prices now?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 30% over five years in cash and up 3% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What is for sale in NE61 right now
Turning to what is actually available: 26 homes on the market right now, from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole NE61 district, not just NE61 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
17% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

Moving up a bedroom in NE: the cost
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.
| 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.

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.
