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 Wern Road, Pontypool 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. Wern Road, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 30 | 41.1% | £96,500 | £34,000 – £195,000 |
| Semi-detached | 22 | 30.1% | £85,000 | £23,000 – £365,000 |
| Detached | 21 | 28.8% | £170,000 | £22,000 – £305,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Wern Road, Pontypool
2 of the sales on record are leasehold and 71 freehold — 2.7% 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 £56,500 and the median freehold sale £112,500 — a gap of +99.1%. 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 | 2 | 2.7% | £56,500 |
| Freehold | 71 | 97.3% | £112,500 |
| New build | 1 | 1.4% | £25,000 |
| Existing home | 72 | 98.6% | £110,825 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -77.4%. 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.

Living in Wern Road, Pontypool
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 |
|---|---|---|
| A | 497 | 1.1% |
| B | 5,534 | 12.5% |
| C | 14,613 | 33.1% |
| D | 14,069 | 31.9% |

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 £109,150 here, that rent is a gross yield of 10.92% 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.

How Wern Road, Pontypool compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Wern Road, Pontypool sits below that national figure — -30.7%.
Within Pontypool the street ranks 207 of 548 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £100,000 (+9.1%).

The full range on record runs from £22,000 to £365,000. 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.
Wern Road, 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.

When were Wern Road, Pontypool house prices at their highest?

£1,230 per square metre, from the 1 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 5 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.
