In cash terms the typical NP44 2 home went from £40,500 in 1995 to £210,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 139%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 10% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NP44 2 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 (+30.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−6.1%). 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) | +5.1% | +2.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.3% | +1.8% |
| 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
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 19 sales completed in NP44 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 93 sales a year before the financial crisis and 62 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.
What tenants pay around NP44 2
The local authority for NP44 2 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.
Against the £210,200 median purchase price, a rent of £856 a month (£10,272 a year) works out at a 4.9% 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.
How NP44 2 trades
Only 19 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NP44 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

What another bedroom costs in NP
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NP area. 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%) |

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