In cash terms the typical NP44 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £203,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 128%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NP44 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 (+36.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−5.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NP44 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −5.6% | −7.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −3.9% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.8% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.6% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £337,500 against £120,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Sales activity in NP44
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 433 sales completed in NP44. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 766 sales a year before the financial crisis and 558 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
NP44 falls under Torfaen, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £203,000 median purchase price, a rent of £856 a month (£10,272 a year) works out at a 5.1% 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.

Is NP44 (Cwmbran) a good place to buy a house?
Will NP44 prices rise from here?
No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 4% over five years in cash but down 18% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
What you could buy in NP44 now
Everything above is what homes in NP44 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 52 homes currently on the market from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 3% above the NP44 median sold price.
At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (433 in NP44), the 52 homes listed here amount to about 6 weeks of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What is for sale against what sells in NP44
Terraced homes are 51% of what is listed in NP44 but 43% of what sold over 2024 and 2025: the market is being offered more of them than it has been taking, which tends to give a buyer of one room to talk.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 26% | 29% |
| Semi-detached | 23% | 23% |
| Terraced | 51% | 43% |
| Flats | 0% | 5% |
The listing shares count homes published to HomesIndex by agents today; the sales shares count HM Land Registry registrations. Listings typed only as "house", "bungalow" or similar, which the register would file under one of the four forms, are excluded from the listing side.
When homes in NP44 change hands
Across the 3,447 sales completed in NP44 from 2021 to 2025, June was the busiest month for completions (11.9% of the total) and January the quietest (6.2%). The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 215 | 6.2% |
| February | 217 | 6.3% |
| March | 285 | 8.3% |

Bedroom by bedroom: NP prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NP area. 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 | £257,500 | £267,500 (+4%) | £307,500 (+15%) | £385,000 (+25%) | £510,000 (+32%) |
| Semi-detached | £190,000 | £210,000 (+11%) | £230,000 (+10%) | £290,000 (+26%) | £349,999 (+21%) |
| Terraced | £158,250 | £152,000 (-4%) | £160,000 (+5%) | £197,000 (+23%) | £245,000 (+24%) |
| Flat | £110,000 | £135,000 (+23%) | £175,000 (+30%) | — | — |
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.
