NP1 4 local market report Newport
Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 7 sales registered with HM Land Registry in NP1 4 (Newport) since 1998, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to 2019. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
NP1 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside NP1 (Newport). 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.
What a home in NP1 4 sells for
The 2019 median in NP1 4 is £5,000, from 3 registered sales; the mean, £361,700, sits well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £273,500, so NP1 4 trades 98% below the country as a whole.

| Year | Median (cash) | Median (today's £) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | £5,000 | £6,401 | 3 |
| 2010 | £58,000 | £88,835 | 1 |

In cash terms the typical NP1 4 home went from £9,000 in 1998 to £5,000 in 2019, a -44% rise. Strip out inflation and it is actually a fall of about 72%: a typical home here costs less in real terms than it did in 1998. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2010; the current median sits about 93% below that. Someone who bought at the 2010 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

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
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
NP1 4 recorded 3 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 1 sales a year recently, against 1 a year before 2008. 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.
Will NP1 4 prices rise from here?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 91% over five years in cash but down 94% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

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.
