How Dover Close, Bedlington prices moved
The chart tracks the median Dover Close, Bedlington house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2000. 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 | 2 | £84,500 | £187,630 |
| 2000s | 1 | £92,995 | £169,409 |
The highest yearly median on record for Dover Close, Bedlington is £92,995 in 2000; the lowest is £84,500 in 1997. Across the full 4-year record the cash median has moved from £84,500 to £92,995.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £179,165, so the real change over the whole record is +3.8% — about +1.25% 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.

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. Dover Close, Bedlington 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 | 44 | 81.5% | £102,950 | £72,450 – £285,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Dover Close, Bedlington
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 54 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 | 54 | 100.0% | £107,350 |
| New build | 25 | 46.3% | £88,950 |
| Existing home | 29 | 53.7% | £165,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -46.1%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

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 £107,350 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.68% 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 NE22, 114 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 35 violent, 4 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 24 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.5 times quieter.
Against the 320,567 residents the 2021 census counted in Northumberland, that is 0.36 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.

Dover Close, Bedlington 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.
