In cash terms the typical NR9 3 home went from £53,700 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 157%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NR9 3 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 (+43.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−19.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.8% | −7.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −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.
How many homes change hands in NR9 3
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.
NR9 3 recorded 63 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 163 sales a year recently, against 159 a year before 2008. 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 rental side of NR9 3
The local authority for NR9 3 is South Norfolk, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Average monthly rent by size, South Norfolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £300,000 median sold price, £981 a month is £11,772 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in NR: the cost
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £280,000 | £375,246 (+34%) | £545,000 (+45%) | £750,000 (+38%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
