Catfield market report NR29 3, Great Yarmouth
The standing NR29 3 (Catfield) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 4,194 registered sales in NR29 3 (Great Yarmouth) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 34 registered 2026 sales put the NR29 3 (Great Yarmouth) median at £238,800, down 13% on five years earlier, with a mean of £263,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,160 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,194 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
NR29 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside NR29 (Great Yarmouth). 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.

Price per square metre in NR29 3

In cash terms the typical NR29 3 home went from £49,200 in 1995 to £238,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 123%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 31% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NR29 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 2002 (+33.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−19.1%). 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) | −19.1% | −20.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.8% | −7.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 34 sales completed in NR29 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 151 sales a year before the financial crisis and 92 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.
What homes rent for around NR29 3
The local authority for NR29 3 is Great Yarmouth, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £833 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £585 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,313 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Great Yarmouth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £238,800 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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.
Reading the NR29 3 market
This is a thin market: 34 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.

What another bedroom costs in NR
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.
