Price per square metre in NP20 6

In cash terms the typical NP20 6 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £224,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 120%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NP20 6 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 2002 (+23.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.3%). 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) | −2.1% | −4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
NP20 6 recorded 42 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 130 sales a year before the financial crisis and 82 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.
Reading the NP20 6 market
This is a thin market: 42 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.
What tenants pay around NP20 6
For renting purposes NP20 6 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.
£952 a month is £11,424 a year, which against the £224,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.1%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

What you could buy in NP20 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 286 homes currently on the market from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole NP20 district, not just NP20 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
38% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: NP prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NP area, 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%) |
| Terraced | £160,000 | £155,000 (-3%) | £170,000 (+10%) | £225,000 (+32%) | £293,750 (+31%) |
| 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.
