Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on CA9: a quiet market, so take your time
Only about 4 sales a month sell in CA9, at a median above last year’s, which says something about those homes and rather less about yours.
If you are thinking of selling, with detached homes at £291,000 and flats at £74,500, the £75,000 to £452,000 spread is really several markets, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, CA9 sits below the UK average for typical prices, but prices are rising, so check that an asking price is not racing ahead of recent sold homes.
On any CA9 home we would check the tenure (leasehold is common here), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,597 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
With averages this broad, the free CA9 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Northumberland (CA9) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £291,000 against £74,500 for flats: about 3.9 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £75,000 and £452,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- 34% of these sales were leasehold: a genuine mix of houses and flats, so check the tenure of the home you are looking at.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 4 recorded sales a month.

A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG).

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in CA9, band by band
Northumberland's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CA9 median sold price of £206,250 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearNorthumberland | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £206,250 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,731 | £144 | 0.84% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £2,020 | £168 | 0.98% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,194 | £433 | 2.52% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CA9 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
