In cash terms the typical NP26 5 home went from £54,500 in 1995 to £317,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 168%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NP26 5 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 (+29.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−9.2%). 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) | +11.6% | +9.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 40 sales completed in NP26 5. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 96 sales a year recently, against 115 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.
What homes rent for around NP26 5
The local authority for NP26 5 is Monmouthshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £992 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £729 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,494 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Monmouthshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£992 a month is £11,904 a year, which against the £317,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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.
How NP26 5 trades
This is a thin market: 40 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
