In cash terms the typical NE9 6 home went from £51,100 in 1995 to £192,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 73%, 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 26% 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 NE9 6 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 2005 (+20.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−10.3%). 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) | −10.3% | −12.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −1.0% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
NE9 6 recorded 81 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 261 sales a year before the financial crisis and 152 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 NE9 6
For renting purposes NE9 6 sits in Gateshead. The ONS average private rent there is £790 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £581 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,179, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Gateshead
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £192,000 median purchase price, a rent of £790 a month (£9,480 a year) works out at a 4.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
What kind of market NE9 6 is
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within NE9, this sector trades 10% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

50% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

Bedroom by bedroom: NE prices by size
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £239,250 | £322,500 (+35%) | £498,100 (+54%) | £700,000 (+41%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
