Western and West Central Newport market report NP20 3, Newport
The standing NP20 3 (Western and West Central Newport) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,722 sales registered with HM Land Registry in NP20 3 (Newport) 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.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 40 registered 2026 sales put the NP20 3 (Newport) median at £227,500, up 14% on five years earlier, with a mean of £273,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,550 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,722 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
NP20 3 is one sector of NP20 (Newport): 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.

NP20 3's median sold price, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

| 1996 | £45,000 | £94,903 | 162 |
| 1995 | £41,800 | £90,867 | 110 |
In cash terms the typical NP20 3 home went from £41,800 in 1995 to £227,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 150%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NP20 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 2004 (+26.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.9%). 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) | +8.3% | +5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.1% | +1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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 NP20 3
Sales per year, counted
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 40 NP20 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 201 sales a year before the financial crisis and 117 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.
How NP20 3 trades
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. 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. Against the NP20 district median, NP20 3 sits 8% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of NP20 3
For renting purposes NP20 3 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 £227,500 median purchase price, a rent of £952 a month (£11,424 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in NP
Real sold prices by size across the NP area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £285,000 | £370,000 (+30%) | £525,000 (+42%) | £683,000 (+30%) |

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.
