NR12 7 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside NR12 (Norwich). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

| 1996 | £57,000 | £120,210 | 77 |
| 1995 | £59,500 | £129,344 | 71 |
In cash terms the typical NR12 7 home went from £59,500 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 132%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 28% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NR12 7 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+56.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−11.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.5% | −10.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.9% | −6.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in NR12 7
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 21 NR12 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 60 sales a year before the financial crisis and 44 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around NR12 7
NR12 7 falls under Broadland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £939 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £692 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,550, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Broadland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £300,000 median purchase price, a rent of £939 a month (£11,268 a year) works out at a 3.8% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
The shape of the NR12 7 market
This is a thin market: 21 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

Bedroom by bedroom: NR prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NR area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £280,000 | £375,246 (+34%) | £545,000 (+45%) | £750,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £245,000 (+17%) | £289,950 (+18%) | £375,000 (+29%) | £515,000 (+37%) |
| Terraced | £185,000 | £215,000 (+16%) | £245,000 (+14%) | £335,000 (+37%) | £423,750 (+26%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
