The standing NP12 3 (Pontllanfraith) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 2,617 sales registered with HM Land Registry in NP12 3 (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.

In short: the typical home in NP12 3 (Blackwood) sold for £200,000 in 2026, the median of 35 registered sales, up 42% on five years earlier. The mean was £210,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,050 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 2,617 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.
NP12 3 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.

In cash terms the typical NP12 3 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 163%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the NP12 3 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 2003 (+37.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NP12 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +21.2% | +18.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +7.2% | +2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.5% | +3.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 35 NP12 3 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 110 sales a year before the financial crisis and 69 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 shape of the NP12 3 market
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NP12 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within NP12, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of NP12 3
The local authority for NP12 3 is Caerphilly, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £742 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £548 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,091 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Caerphilly
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £200,000 median purchase price, a rent of £742 a month (£8,904 a year) works out at a 4.5% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: NP prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NP area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
