In cash terms the typical NR32 4 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £255,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 130%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NR32 4 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 (+23.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.2%). 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) | +10.9% | +8.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
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, 81 sales completed in NR32 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 318 sales a year before the financial crisis and 164 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£834 a month is £10,008 a year, which against the £255,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NR area. 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.
