In cash terms the typical NP44 1 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £189,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 129%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 38% 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 NP44 1 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 (+32.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−21.6%). 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) | −21.6% | −23.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.8% | −8.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
NP44 1 recorded 30 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 144 sales a year over the last five years against 126 before the financial crisis. 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 kind of market NP44 1 is
This is a thin market: 30 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.
What tenants pay around NP44 1
For renting purposes NP44 1 sits in Torfaen. The ONS average private rent there is £856 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £613 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,373 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Torfaen
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £189,000 median purchase price, a rent of £856 a month (£10,272 a year) works out at a 5.4% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

What another bedroom costs in NP
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NP area, 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.
| 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%) |

| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
