How this area has changed

Typical prices for flats, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

Area	Now	5 years ago	10 years ago	15 years ago	20 years ago
Rectory Road	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	£79,975
Postcode sector NE8 4	£95,000	£80,000 +19% since	£70,250 +35% since	£71,000 +34% since	£74,125 +28% 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.

Sector NE8 4 Gateshead Typical price each year, flats. A gap is a year with too few sales.
