In cash terms the typical NR35 1 home went from £45,200 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 139%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 26% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NR35 1 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 (+41.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.6%). 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 years (since 2025) | −13.8% | −15.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
NR35 1 recorded 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 131 sales a year before the financial crisis and 82 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.
How NR35 1 trades
Only 29 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NR35 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within NR35, this sector trades 10% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around NR35 1
For renting purposes NR35 1 sits in East Suffolk. The ONS average private rent there is £834 a month (May 2026). 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 £235,000 median sold price, £834 a month is £10,008 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom 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.
