In cash terms the typical NE66 1 home went from £40,200 in 1995 to £191,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 119%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 30% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE66 1 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 2003 (+45.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−17.2%). 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) | −7.9% | −10.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.5% |
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 NE66 1
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 53 NE66 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 122 sales a year recently, against 139 a year before 2008. 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 homes rent for around NE66 1
NE66 1 falls under Northumberland, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£679 a month is £8,148 a year, which against the £191,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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.
How NE66 1 trades
This is a thin market: 53 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 NE66 district median, NE66 1 sits 24% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Common questions on NE66 1 (Shilbottle)
Is NE66 1 (Shilbottle) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in NE66 1 (Shilbottle)?
Are property prices falling in NE66 1 (Shilbottle)?
Are NE66 1 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% 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.

These cover the whole NE66 district, not just NE66 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 21% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. 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. 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
