In cash terms the typical NR20 3 home went from £51,200 in 1995 to £295,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 166%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NR20 3 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 2000 (+36.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−15.5%). 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) | −11.7% | −13.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
NR20 3 recorded 34 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 137 sales a year recently, against 161 a year before 2008. 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.
What kind of market NR20 3 is
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NR20 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
Rents around NR20 3
The local authority for NR20 3 is Breckland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £920 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £659 a month here against £1,507 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Breckland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£920 a month is £11,040 a year, which against the £295,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Moving up a bedroom in NR: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NR area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |
