Pontllanfraith market report NP12 2, Blackwood
The NP12 2 (Pontllanfraith) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 3,859 sales registered with HM Land Registry in NP12 2 (Blackwood) since 1995, 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 recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 40 registered 2026 sales put the NP12 2 (Blackwood) median at £205,000, up 13% on five years earlier, with a mean of £228,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,450 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,859 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
NP12 2 is one sector of NP12 (Blackwood): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

| 1996 | £47,200 | £99,543 | 104 |
| 1995 | £37,200 | £80,867 | 76 |
In cash terms the typical NP12 2 home went from £37,200 in 1995 to £205,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 154%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2024, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2024 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NP12 2 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 (+42.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.1% | −7.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.7% | +2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 40 sales completed in NP12 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 152 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 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.
The rental side of NP12 2
For renting purposes NP12 2 sits in Caerphilly. The ONS average private rent there is £742 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £548 a month here against £1,091 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Caerphilly
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £205,000 median sold price, £742 a month is £8,904 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: 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.
What kind of market NP12 2 is
This is a thin market: 40 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in NP
Real sold prices by size across the NP 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 | — | £285,000 | £370,000 (+30%) | £525,000 (+42%) | £683,000 (+30%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. 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.
