In cash terms the typical NP4 6 home went from £30,500 in 1995 to £158,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 138%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NP4 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 (+35.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−14.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.1% | −9.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.5% | +3.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The register shows 41 NP4 6 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 157 sales a year before the financial crisis and 92 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around NP4 6
The local authority for NP4 6 is Torfaen, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £856 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £613 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,373, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Torfaen
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £158,000 median sold price, £856 a month is £10,272 a year, a gross yield of 6.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How NP4 6 trades
Only 41 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NP4 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. Within NP4, this sector trades 21% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Bedroom by bedroom: NP prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NP area. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
