In cash terms the typical NP18 home went from £64,800 in 1995 to £315,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 124%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NP18 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 1998 (+23.6% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−16.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.0% | −9.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 50% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £431,000 against £145,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

How many homes change hands in NP18
The year-by-year sales count
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.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 219 sales completed in NP18. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 342 sales a year before the financial crisis and 241 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.
What homes rent for around NP18
For renting purposes NP18 sits in Newport. The ONS average private rent there is £952 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £694 a month here against £1,356 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Newport
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £315,000 median purchase price, a rent of £952 a month (£11,424 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.

What another bedroom costs 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.
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
