What a home in NP4 7 sells for
The 2026 median for NP4 7 is £185,000, taken from 20 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £219,700, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
NP4 7 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of NP4 7 sales average about £1,840 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.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so NP4 7 trades 35% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical NP4 7 home went from £30,500 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 179%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the NP4 7 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 (+48.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−23.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +21.7% | +18.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.7% | +0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.8% | +2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
NP4 7 recorded 20 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 97 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 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.
Rents around NP4 7
The local authority for NP4 7 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 £185,000 median sold price, £856 a month is £10,272 a year, a gross yield of 5.6%: 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.
Reading the NP4 7 market
Only 20 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NP4 7 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 NP4 district median, NP4 7 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: NP prices by size
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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £285,000 | £370,000 (+30%) | £525,000 (+42%) | £683,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £200,000 | £215,000 (+7%) | £250,000 (+16%) | £320,000 (+28%) | £417,500 (+30%) |
| Terraced | £160,000 | £155,000 (-3%) | £170,000 (+10%) | £225,000 (+32%) | £293,750 (+31%) |
| Flat | £120,000 | £137,000 (+14%) | £200,000 (+46%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

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.
