How Canterbury Street, South Shields prices moved
The chart tracks the median Canterbury Street, South Shields house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2007. 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 | £27,600 | £61,285 |
| 2000s | 7 | £50,500 | £91,996 |
The highest yearly median on record for Canterbury Street, South Shields is £82,750 in 2007; the lowest is £27,600 in 1999. Across the full 9-year record the cash median has moved from £27,600 to £82,750.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £56,237, so the real change over the whole record is +155.8% — about +12.46% 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: +199.8% in cash against +155.8% 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. Canterbury Street, South Shields 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 58 | 54.7% | £49,000 | £20,500 – £108,500 |
| Terraced | 43 | 40.6% | £50,000 | £16,000 – £132,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Canterbury Street, South Shields
60 of the sales on record are leasehold and 46 freehold — 56.6% 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 £48,000 and the median freehold sale £59,875 — a gap of +24.7%. 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 | 60 | 56.6% | £48,000 |
| Freehold | 46 | 43.4% | £59,875 |
A further 18 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.
Section 09
How Canterbury Street, South Shields compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Canterbury Street, South Shields sits below that national figure — -68.3%.
Within South Shields the street ranks 663 of 721 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £89,950 (-44.4%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £904 per square metre, across 48 of the 106 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

When were Canterbury Street, South Shields house prices at their highest?
