In cash terms the typical NR34 home went from £49,000 in 1995 to £285,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 168%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NR34 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 (+37.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−8.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NR34 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 44% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £390,000 against £187,500 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

How many homes change hands in NR34
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 292 NR34 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 500 sales a year before the financial crisis and 296 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.
Rents around NR34
The local authority for NR34 is East Suffolk, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £834 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £597 a month here against £1,332 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, East Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £285,000 median sold price, £834 a month is £10,008 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Bedroom by bedroom: NR prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NR area, 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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
