N part of Norwich market report NR3, Norwich
The NR3 (N part of Norwich) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 19,594 sales registered with HM Land Registry in NR3 (Norwich) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the middle 2026 sale in NR3 (Norwich) came in at £215,000, out of 174 registered, up 8% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £221,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,060 per square metre over the last five years. The record behind it is 19,594 completed sales lodged with HM Land Registry since 1995, monthly refreshed, with no valuations or asking prices anywhere in the figures.
NR3 is the postcode district covering N part of Norwich, Mile Cross, New Catton in Norwich. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

The going rate for a home in NR3
Across 174 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) NR3 home went for £215,000. The mean is £221,400, nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.
NR3 prices by floor area
A square metre of NR3 home has cost about £3,060 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, NR3 runs 25% below it.

| 1996 | £34,500 | £72,759 | 598 |
| 1995 | £33,500 | £72,824 | 434 |
In cash terms the typical NR3 home went from £33,500 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 195%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NR3 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 (+35.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.4% | −2.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 55% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £275,000 against £139,000 for a flat, 2.0 times the price.

Sales activity in NR3
Sales per year, counted
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 376 sales completed in NR3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 863 sales a year before the financial crisis and 433 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.
How NR3 trades
Among the 35 measurable districts of its area, NR3 ranks 33 by median price: towards the affordable end.
Rents around NR3
The local authority for NR3 is Norwich, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,152 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £784 a month here against £1,594 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Norwich
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £215,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,152 a month (£13,824 a year) works out at a 6.4% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in NR
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NR area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £280,000 | £375,246 (+34%) | £545,000 (+45%) | £750,000 (+38%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
