Today's NP20 prices, from the sold record
The NP20 median stands at £210,000 for 2026, built from 209 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £239,600, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
NP20 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of NP20 sales average about £2,410 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving NP20 26% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical NP20 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £210,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 154%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. 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 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 (+23.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 40% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £390,000 against £110,000 for a flat, 3.5 times the price.

What NP20 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.3% | −4.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in NP20
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 482 NP20 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 914 sales a year before the financial crisis and 587 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 tenants pay around NP20
NP20 falls under Newport, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £952 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £694 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,356 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £210,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.4%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £285,000 | £370,000 (+30%) | £525,000 (+42%) | £683,000 (+30%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
