NR12 8 sold prices: where the market stands
The NR12 8 median stands at £395,000 for 2026, built from 35 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £375,000, beneath it, usually the sign of a batch of very cheap recorded transfers pulling the average lower.
NR12 8 prices by floor area
A square metre of NR12 8 home has cost about £3,880 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

In cash terms the typical NR12 8 home went from £64,700 in 1995 to £395,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 181%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NR12 8 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 (+27.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−7.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NR12 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.3% | −1.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in NR12 8
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 35 NR12 8 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 148 sales a year before the financial crisis and 101 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of NR12 8
NR12 8 falls under North Norfolk, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £860 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £619 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,349 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Norfolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £395,000 median sold price, £860 a month is £10,320 a year, a gross yield of 2.6%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How NR12 8 trades
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NR12 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the NR12 district median, NR12 8 sits 41% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in NR
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NR area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £280,000 | £375,246 (+34%) | £545,000 (+45%) | £750,000 (+38%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
