NE7 is the postcode district covering Heaton, Gosforth, Benton in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

In cash terms the typical NE7 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £238,800 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 103%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NE7 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 (+29.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−12.8%). 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) | −4.5% | −6.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 29% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £345,000 against £140,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 173 sales completed in NE7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 349 sales a year before the financial crisis and 192 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 tenants pay around NE7
For renting purposes NE7 sits in Newcastle upon Tyne. The ONS average private rent there is £1,204 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £806 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,825, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £238,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.1%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in NE: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NE area. 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.
| 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
