N part of Norwich market report NR3, Norwich
The standing NR3 (N part of Norwich) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 19,644 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 August 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: the middle 2026 sale in NR3 (Norwich) came in at £215,000, out of 218 registered, up 8% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £226,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,060 per square metre over the last five years. The record behind it is 19,644 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 218 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) NR3 home went for £215,000. The mean is £226,000, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
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 year (since 2025) | +0.9% | −1.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.5% | −1.8% |
| 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 £347,500 against £140,000 for a flat, 2.5 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, 385 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 443 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 34 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.

Is NR3 (N part of Norwich) a good place to buy a house?
Will NR3 prices rise from here?

On the market in NR3 today
Everything above is what homes in NR3 sold for. The live side of the market holds 76 homes at the moment, listed by 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price level with the NR3 median sold price.
Set against 385 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 76 homes on the market here are roughly 2 months of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted.
17% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

What is for sale against what sells in NR3
Sellers of terraced homes in NR3 have company: 63% of current listings against 53% of recent sales. When a type is offered faster than it sells, the buyer usually holds the better hand.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 0% | 3% |
| Semi-detached | 10% | 17% |
| Terraced | 63% | 53% |
| Flats | 27% | 27% |
The listing shares count homes published to HomesIndex by agents today; the sales shares count HM Land Registry registrations. Listings typed only as "house", "bungalow" or similar, which the register would file under one of the four forms, are excluded from the listing side (2 of them here).
The NR3 sales calendar
Across the 2,626 sales completed in NR3 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (10.6% of the total) and April the quietest (6.4%). That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 181 | 6.9% |
| February | 179 | 6.8% |
| March | 279 | 10.6% |
| April | 169 | 6.4% |
| May | 186 | 7.1% |

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £252,750 | £285,000 (+13%) | £325,000 (+14%) | £409,250 (+26%) | £528,000 (+29%) |
| Semi-detached | £197,500 | £227,000 (+15%) | £255,125 (+12%) | £305,000 (+20%) | £375,000 (+23%) |
| Terraced | £165,000 | £205,000 (+24%) | £220,000 (+7%) | £280,000 (+27%) | £375,000 (+34%) |
| Flat | £125,000 | £160,200 (+28%) | £310,000 (+94%) | — | — |
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.
