In cash terms the typical NP23 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £150,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 116%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NP23 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 (+50.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NP23 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.6% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.0% | +2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 58% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £290,000 against £70,000 for a flat, 4.1 times the price.

How many homes change hands in NP23
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
NP23 recorded 292 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 491 sales a year before the financial crisis and 345 a year over the last five. 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.
The shape of the NP23 market
Among the 18 measurable districts of its area, NP23 ranks 15 by median price: towards the affordable end.
The rental side of NP23
NP23 falls under Blaenau Gwent, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £674 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £498 a month here against £897 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £150,000 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.

Moving up a bedroom in NP: the cost
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
