In cash terms the typical NE61 5 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £172,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 147%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 15% 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 NE61 5 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 (+49.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−23.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.1% | −9.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.7% | −0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
Sales activity in NE61 5
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.
The register shows 43 NE61 5 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 151 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.
Reading the NE61 5 market
This is a thin market: 43 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. 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. Against the NE61 district median, NE61 5 sits 28% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around NE61 5
For renting purposes NE61 5 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 £172,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in NE
Real sold prices by size across the NE area, straight 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.
