How Scoular Drive, Ashington prices moved
The chart tracks the median Scoular Drive, Ashington house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2022. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 3 | £63,675 | £141,389 |
| 2000s | 4 | £71,250 | £129,797 |
| 2010s | 1 | £150,000 | £211,500 |
| 2020s | 1 | £206,500 | £210,989 |
The highest yearly median on record for Scoular Drive, Ashington is £206,500 in 2022; the lowest is £58,000 in 1998. Across the full 28-year record the cash median has moved from £63,675 to £206,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £141,389, so the real change over the whole record is +69.2% — about +1.97% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +33.2% in cash against -11.2% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Scoular Drive, Ashington is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 75 | 81.5% | £130,000 | £48,500 – £260,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Scoular Drive, Ashington
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 92 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 92 | 100.0% | £128,500 |
A further 4 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Northumberland, 43.9% of 169,476 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 7.0% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Northumberland at £687 a month as of Jun 2026 — £489 for a one-bedroom home and £757 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £128,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.42% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of NE63, 231 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 84 violent, 14 burglary, 7 vehicle-related and 50 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.4 times busier.
Against the 320,567 residents the 2021 census counted in Northumberland, that is 0.72 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

How Scoular Drive, Ashington compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Scoular Drive, Ashington sits below that national figure — -18.4%.
Within Ashington the street ranks 116 of 340 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £76,000 (+69.1%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,429 per square metre, across 19 of the 92 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £48,500 to £260,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Scoular Drive, Ashington sits in Northumberland, in the North East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Northumberland at 5.7 times median local earnings of £35,323 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Scoular Drive, Ashington?

What is the price per square metre in Scoular Drive, Ashington?
£1,429 per square metre, from the 19 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.

The latest sale shown here completed on 27 Mar 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
