NR31 is the postcode district covering Gorleston-on-Sea, Bradwell in Great Yarmouth. 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.

Price per square metre in NR31

| 1995 | £41,500 | £90,215 | 757 |
In cash terms the typical NR31 home went from £41,500 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 144%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NR31 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 2003 (+26.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−4.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 40% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £315,000 against £100,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

What NR31 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −0.2% | −2.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.7% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The register shows 568 NR31 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,137 sales a year before the financial crisis and 667 a year over the last five. 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
The local authority for NR31 is Great Yarmouth, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £833 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £585 a month here against £1,313 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Great Yarmouth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £220,000 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 4.5% 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 spread between the busiest and quietest months is small, so timing matters less here than in most markets; price and presentation decide more than the calendar.

What another bedroom costs in NR
Real sold prices by size across the NR area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
