In cash terms the typical NR20 5 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 178%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 32% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NR20 5 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 (+51.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−16.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.0% | −10.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.9% | −7.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in NR20 5
The year-by-year sales count
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 27 NR20 5 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 90 sales a year before the financial crisis and 66 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.
Rents around NR20 5
The local authority for NR20 5 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.
Set against the £320,000 median sold price, £920 a month is £11,040 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: 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 NR20 5 trades
Only 27 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NR20 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

How much did a house sell for in NR20 5 (Bawdeswell)?

NR20's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 137 homes at the moment, listed by 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole NR20 district, not just NR20 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
40% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
- Tavern Close, Beetley, Dereham, Dereham
- Middleton Avenue, Swanton Morley, Dereham, Dereham
- Bedingfield Road, Swanton Morley, Dereham
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in NR: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the NR area, straight 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.
