Maindee Property Market: House Prices, Sold Data & Development Finance, Q3 2026 Review

Maindee: Inner city area with affordable values and growing regeneration interest.

The Maindee property market recorded 2,499 residential sales in the 12 months to 30 June 2026, with a median sale price of £227,000. This places Maindee £37k above the Newport county median of £189,975, and £58k below the approximate UK median of £285,000.

Prices in Maindee have shown modest growth, a year-on-year change of +0.9%. Within Newport, Maindee ranks 2nd by price out of 5 principal towns, and 2nd by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Maindee median prices moved from £220,000 in Q1 2025 to £225,000 in Q2 2026, a change of +2.3% over 5 quarters.

Maindee shares a HM Land Registry reporting district with neighbouring towns, and the source data does not distinguish Maindee-specific sales from the wider district. The figures above reflect the whole shared district rather than Maindee alone.

Newport, the local planning authority covering Maindee, approved 10 residential planning applications and refused 15 in Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September 2026), with 17 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 40%. Planning figures come from local planning authority records compiled by Landstack, retrieved on 3 October 2026. Councils and Landstack can take several days to publish decisions, so decisions made in the final days of Q3 2026 may not all be included yet.

Schemes approved in Q3 2026, together with those still awaiting a decision, propose around 53 homes, an estimated £10.4m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Newport covers more than one town in Newport, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Maindee alone.
