NE8 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside NE8 (Gateshead). 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.

Today's NE8 4 prices, from the sold record

Take the 55 registered 2026 sales in NE8 4 and the middle price, the median, is £130,000. The mean lands at £145,200, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

House prices per square metre in NE8 4

By floor space, homes in NE8 4 have sold for about £1,420 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving NE8 4 54% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical NE8 4 home went from £24,000 in 1995 to £130,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 149%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+62.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−11.4%). 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

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.

The turnover behind the prices

Over the last twelve months of data, 55 sales completed in NE8 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 435 sales a year before the financial crisis and 121 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.

The rental side of NE8 4

For renting purposes NE8 4 sits in Gateshead. The ONS average private rent there is £790 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £581 a month here against £1,179 for four or more bedrooms.

£790 a month is £9,480 a year, which against the £130,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.3%. 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 NE8 4 trades

This is a thin market: 55 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. Within NE8, this sector trades 13% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

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.
