In cash terms the typical NP44 8 home went from £46,300 in 1995 to £242,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 141%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the NP44 8 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 (+38.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.2%). 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) | +10.0% | +7.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.7% | +0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.1% | +1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
The register shows 12 NP44 8 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 42 sales a year recently, against 48 a year before 2008. 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 homes rent for around NP44 8
The local authority for NP44 8 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 £242,500 median sold price, £856 a month is £10,272 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: 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 NP44 8 market
This is a thin market: 12 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. 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 NP44 district median, NP44 8 sits 21% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in NP
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
