What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Festival Crescent, Pontypool 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 | 48 | 70.6% | £105,000 | £30,500 – £280,000 |
| Terraced | 13 | 19.1% | £83,500 | £37,500 – £290,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 7 | 10.3% | £93,000 | £77,000 – £106,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Festival Crescent, Pontypool
13 of the sales on record are leasehold and 55 freehold — 19.1% 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 £83,500 and the median freehold sale £111,995 — a gap of +34.1%. 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 | 13 | 19.1% | £83,500 |
| Freehold | 55 | 80.9% | £111,995 |

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Monmouthshire, 46.7% of 44,166 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 7.1% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Monmouthshire at £993 a month as of Jun 2026 — £729 for a one-bedroom home and £1,062 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £98,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 12.10% 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 NP4, 111 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 54 violent, 2 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 13 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 92,957 residents the 2021 census counted in Monmouthshire, that is 1.19 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.

Within Pontypool the street ranks 250 of 548 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £100,000 (-1.5%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £30,500 to £290,000. 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.
Festival Crescent, Pontypool sits in Monmouthshire, in Wales.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Monmouthshire at 8.0 times median local earnings of £38,844 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Festival Crescent, Pontypool?
The median price paid in Festival Crescent, Pontypool across every sale on the register is £98,500. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Festival Crescent, Pontypool?
68 sales are on record for Festival Crescent, Pontypool, the most recent completing on 29 Sep 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +75.0% between 2016 and 2023. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +35.5%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Festival Crescent, Pontypool house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £210,000, set in 2023. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 29 Sep 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.
