| 1995 | £73,000 | £158,691 | 117 |
In cash terms the typical NG25 home went from £73,000 in 1995 to £379,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 139%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NG25 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 1998 (+40.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 59% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £477,500 against £192,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

What NG25 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.4% | −8.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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 NG25
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.
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, 119 sales completed in NG25. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 188 sales a year before the financial crisis and 123 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.
Rents around NG25
The local authority for NG25 is Newark and Sherwood, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £794 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £545 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,285, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Newark and Sherwood
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £379,000 median sold price, £794 a month is £9,528 a year, a gross yield of 2.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How NG25 trades
Only 119 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NG25 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. NG25 is currently the dearest district of its postcode area by median price.

The price of an extra bedroom in NG
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NG area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £242,000 | £340,000 (+40%) | £500,000 (+47%) | £685,000 (+37%) |
| Semi-detached | £170,000 | £195,000 (+15%) | £235,000 (+21%) | £330,000 (+40%) | £462,500 (+40%) |

| Flat | £118,800 | £151,000 (+27%) | £220,000 (+46%) | £397,500 (+81%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
