How Rowan Way, Pontypool prices moved
The chart tracks the median Rowan Way, Pontypool house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2016 to 2021. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010s | 4 | £179,444 | £253,016 |
| 2020s | 1 | £175,000 | £178,804 |
The highest yearly median on record for Rowan Way, Pontypool is £189,950 in 2017; the lowest is £175,000 in 2021. Across the full 6-year record the cash median has moved from £182,950 to £175,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £255,405, so the real change over the whole record is -13.4% — about -2.84% 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: -4.3% in cash against -13.4% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Rowan Way, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 30 | 47.6% | £239,000 | £159,950 – £375,000 |
| Semi-detached | 21 | 33.3% | £187,500 | £139,950 – £275,000 |

| Flat or maisonette | 3 | 4.8% | £117,950 | £117,500 – £155,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Rowan Way, Pontypool
3 of the sales on record are leasehold and 60 freehold — 4.8% 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 £117,950 and the median freehold sale £193,475 — a gap of +64.0%. 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 | 3 | 4.8% | £117,950 |
| Freehold | 60 | 95.2% | £193,475 |
| New build | 39 | 61.9% | £189,950 |
| Existing home | 24 | 38.1% | £209,444 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -9.3%. 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.

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.

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 £189,950 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.27% 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.

Rowan Way, 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Rowan Way, Pontypool?

When were Rowan Way, Pontypool house prices at their highest?

How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 15 Dec 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.
