The postcode district NR12 covering Bacton, Brumstead, Coltishall sits in Norwich. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

In cash terms the typical NR12 home went from £54,500 in 1995 to £280,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 136%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NR12 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 (+32.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−10.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NR12 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.7% | −11.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.4% | −5.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 56% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £390,000 against £159,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 252 NR12 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 469 sales a year before the financial crisis and 301 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The rental side of NR12
The local authority for NR12 is North Norfolk, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £860 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £619 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,349, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, North Norfolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £280,000 median sold price, £860 a month is £10,320 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: 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.

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. 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.
