NP20, Newport: Bettws, Pillgwenlly and Malpas

Here you'll find the official figures for NP20, one of Newport's postcode districts, gathered in one place: what homes sell for, the homes themselves, schools, crime and the cost of living.

Bettws, Pillgwenlly, Malpas and Maes-glas are among the places in NP20, which has around 22,500 homes in all. Terraced and semi-detached houses sell in similar numbers here, each just over a third of sales.

Homes in NP20 sold for about £196,000 on average in the five years to August 2026, up 26% on the five years before. That is below the average across Newport of about £225,000 over the same five years. Most of the district sits outside mapped flood risk areas.

All figures come from official sources, listed at the bottom of this page.

Of the homes sold in the five years to August 2026, 37% were terraced houses, 35% were semi-detached houses, 14% were flats and 14% were detached houses. 18% were leasehold and 8% were new builds (273 sales).

20 state schools have an NP20 postcode, and 19 more are within a mile of one of its postcodes. Being near a school is not the same as being in its catchment: check admissions with the council.

Estyn, the inspectorate for schools in Wales, stopped giving schools an overall grade from spring 2022, so there is no single rating to show. Each school's inspection reports are on estyn.gov.wales.

We checked the centre of each of NP20's 1,352 postcodes against the flood risk maps from Natural Resources Wales. 1,230 sit outside every mapped area, and 122 are in one: 2 at high risk, 11 at medium risk and 109 at low risk. The centre of a postcode is not each home in it, so check an exact address on NRW's flood risk map.

• High risk from the sea or surface water and small watercourses: Greater than a 1 in 30 (3.3%) chance of flooding each year.
• Medium risk from rivers or surface water and small watercourses: Between a 1 in 100 (1%) and a 1 in 30 (3.3%) chance of flooding each year.
• Medium risk from the sea: Between a 1 in 200 (0.5%) and a 1 in 30 (3.3%) chance of flooding each year.
• Low risk from rivers or surface water and small watercourses: Between a 1 in 1,000 (0.1%) and a 1 in 100 (1%) chance of flooding each year.
• Low risk from the sea: Between a 1 in 1,000 (0.1%) and a 1 in 200 (0.5%) chance of flooding each year.

The sentence above counts each postcode once, at its highest risk. The table counts it under each source, so a postcode at risk from more than one source appears more than once.

NRW's map takes into account the effect of flood defences where it has information on them. Defences reduce the chance of flooding but do not completely stop it, as they can be overtopped or fail.

13 postcode centres are in areas NRW is reviewing, so the risk there may change.
