In cash terms the typical NR29 home went from £49,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 135%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 28% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NR29 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 (+28.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−10.3%). 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) | −8.3% | −10.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.9% | −6.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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, 59% of the typed total. In 2024, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £310,000 against £115,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
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 last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
NR29 recorded 270 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 472 sales a year before the financial crisis and 299 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.
Rents around NR29
The local authority for NR29 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 £250,000 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: NR prices by size
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.

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
