In cash terms the typical NP20 2 home went from £25,200 in 1995 to £175,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 219%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 37% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NP20 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 2014 (+48.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−25.5%). 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) | −25.5% | −27.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.3% | −4.5% |
| 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.
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.
The register shows 29 NP20 2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 115 sales a year over the last five years against 101 before the financial crisis. 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.
How NP20 2 trades
This is a thin market: 29 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. 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 NP20, this sector trades 17% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of NP20 2
The local authority for NP20 2 is Newport, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £952 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £175,000 median sold price, £952 a month is £11,424 a year, a gross yield of 6.5%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: NP prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the NP area, straight 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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
