In cash terms the typical NP20 7 home went from £34,000 in 1995 to £178,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 142%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NP20 7 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 2003 (+38.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−26.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NP20 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.2% | +5.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.0% | +0.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in NP20 7
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
NP20 7 recorded 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 79 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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 NP20 7 market
Only 22 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NP20 7 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 NP20, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around NP20 7
For renting purposes NP20 7 sits in Newport. The ONS average private rent there is £952 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £694 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,356, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £178,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.4%. 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 another bedroom costs in NP
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NP area. 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%) |

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.
