In cash terms the typical NP23 6 home went from £27,500 in 1995 to £129,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 117%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NP23 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 2004 (+54.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−18.8%). 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) | −3.9% | −6.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.4% | +0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.5% | +2.0% |
| 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 NP23 6
The year-by-year sales count
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 52 NP23 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 135 sales a year recently, against 155 a year before 2008. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Reading the NP23 6 market
Only 52 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NP23 6 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. Against the NP23 district median, NP23 6 sits 13% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around NP23 6
The local authority for NP23 6 is Blaenau Gwent, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £674 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £498 a month for a typical one-bed to £897 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Blaenau Gwent
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£674 a month is £8,088 a year, which against the £129,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.2%. 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
Real sold prices by size across the NP area, straight 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.
