In cash terms the typical NP44 3 home went from £36,500 in 1995 to £197,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 149%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2023. The market now sits about 37% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NP44 3 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 (+130.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2005 (−29.6%). 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) | −14.1% | −16.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.8% | −7.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
NP44 3 recorded 28 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 111 sales a year recently, against 114 a year before 2008. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Rents around NP44 3
The local authority for NP44 3 is Torfaen, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £856 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £197,500 median purchase price, a rent of £856 a month (£10,272 a year) works out at a 5.2% 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 3 trades
This is a thin market: 28 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 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
