The standing NR8 5 (Taverham) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month.

No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.

Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: the typical home in NR8 5 (Norwich) sold for £250,000 in 2026, the median of 49 registered sales, up 14% on five years earlier. The mean was £283,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,890 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 4,545 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.

A postcode sector like NR8 5 is a single group of streets within NR8 (Norwich), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What a home in NR8 5 sells for

The NR8 5 median stands at £250,000 for 2026, built from 49 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £283,300, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.

House prices per square metre in NR8 5

Measured by floor area, the last five years of NR8 5 sales average about £2,890 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving NR8 5 12% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical NR8 5 home went from £90,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 2.8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 28%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 26% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2001 (+24.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−22.1%). 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

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

NR8 5 recorded 49 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 128 sales a year over the last five years against 71 before the financial crisis. 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.

The shape of the NR8 5 market

Only 49 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NR8 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the NR8 district median, NR8 5 sits 11% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What tenants pay around NR8 5

NR8 5 falls under South Norfolk, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £981 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £696 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,574 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

£981 a month is £11,772 a year, which against the £250,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. 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.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 14% over five years in cash but down 10% after inflation.
