How Stead Lane, Bedlington prices moved
The chart tracks the median Stead Lane, Bedlington house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2016. 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 | 1 | £30,500 | £67,724 |
| 2000s | 2 | £69,000 | £125,698 |
| 2010s | 1 | £124,000 | £174,840 |
The highest yearly median on record for Stead Lane, Bedlington is £132,450 in 2007; the lowest is £30,500 in 1997. Across the full 20-year record the cash median has moved from £30,500 to £124,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £64,669, so the real change over the whole record is +167.7% — about +5.32% 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: +79.7% in cash against +30.1% 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.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Stead Lane, Bedlington values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Stead Lane, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 56 | 75.7% | £92,500 | £22,000 – £200,000 |
| Detached | 13 | 17.6% | £124,950 | £40,000 – £203,000 |
| Terraced | 5 | 6.8% | £80,000 | £24,000 – £180,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Stead Lane, Bedlington
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 73 freehold — 1.4% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £115,000 and the median freehold sale £92,500 — a gap of -19.6%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 1 | 1.4% | £115,000 |
| Freehold | 73 | 98.6% | £92,500 |
A further 3 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 £94,750 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.70% 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.

How Stead Lane, Bedlington compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Stead Lane, Bedlington sits below that national figure — -39.8%.
Within Bedlington the street ranks 150 of 288 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £93,950 (+0.9%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,212 per square metre, across 20 of the 74 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 £22,000 to £203,000. 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.
Stead Lane, 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. 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 Stead Lane, Bedlington?

When were Stead Lane, Bedlington house prices at their highest?

The latest sale shown here completed on 11 Feb 2026. 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.
