NR31 9 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside NR31 (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.

In cash terms the typical NR31 9 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £241,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 141%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NR31 9 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 2001 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−12.0%). 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) | −12.0% | −14.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 63 sales completed in NR31 9. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 207 sales a year recently, against 241 a year before 2008. 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.
The rental side of NR31 9
The local authority for NR31 9 is Great Yarmouth, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £833 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £585 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,313, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Great Yarmouth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£833 a month is £9,996 a year, which against the £241,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

The price of an extra bedroom in NR
Real sold prices by size across the NR area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £280,000 | £375,246 (+34%) | £545,000 (+45%) | £750,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £245,000 (+17%) | £289,950 (+18%) | £375,000 (+29%) | £515,000 (+37%) |

| Flat | £140,000 | £182,500 (+30%) | £280,000 (+53%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
