How this area has changed
Typical prices for flats, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elswick Road | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector NE4 8 | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | £55,250 | £63,000 |
| Newcastle upon Tyne | £155,000 | £135,000 +15% since | £125,000 +24% since | £110,000 +41% since | £124,000 +25% since |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in NE4 8, over the last five years (368 sales):
- What sells: 36% flats, 33% terraced, 16% other, 15% semi-detached.
- 36% sold leasehold, and 2% were new builds.
- 49 sales in the last twelve months, against 79 in the same twelve months five years ago.
