What NP homes really sell for
In the NP property market, the 2026 median sale price is £230,000, from 2,193 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £259,600, sitting a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
House prices per square metre in NP
The last five years of sales put NP at roughly £2,550 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, NP sits 19% below the national market.

| 1996 | £44,100 | £93,005 | 6,478 |
| 1995 | £43,000 | £93,475 | 5,521 |
In cash terms the typical NP home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £230,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 146%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 9% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NP 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 2004 (+29.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.4%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 40% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £389,000 against £126,500 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

| Semi-detached | £240,000 | 683 | 61,482 |
| Terraced | £170,000 | 821 | 87,018 |

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.2% | −0.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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
Sales per year, counted
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
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
NP recorded 5,069 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 8,680 sales a year before the financial crisis and 5,750 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around NP
The local authority for NP is Monmouthshire, the local authority covering most of the NP area (parts fall under Newport and Caerphilly, where rents differ), and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £992 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £729 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,494, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Monmouthshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £230,000 median sold price, £992 a month is £11,904 a year, a gross yield of 5.2%: 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.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 15% over five years in cash but down 9% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.

Bedroom by bedroom: NP prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NP area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £285,000 | £370,000 (+30%) | £525,000 (+42%) | £683,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £200,000 | £215,000 (+7%) | £250,000 (+16%) | £320,000 (+28%) | £417,500 (+30%) |

| Flat | £120,000 | £137,000 (+14%) | £200,000 (+46%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

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.
