In cash terms the typical NP13 1 home went from £23,200 in 1995 to £137,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 172%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the NP13 1 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 (+54.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−23.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.5% | −0.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +8.1% | +3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +7.2% | +3.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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 NP13 1
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, 37 sales completed in NP13 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 146 sales a year before the financial crisis and 89 a year over the last five. 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.
Reading the NP13 1 market
Only 37 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NP13 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within NP13, this sector trades 10% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around NP13 1
For renting purposes NP13 1 sits in Blaenau Gwent. The ONS average private rent there is £674 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £498 a month here against £897 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Blaenau Gwent
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £137,000 median sold price, £674 a month is £8,088 a year, a gross yield of 5.9%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in NP: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NP area. 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
