PE30 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PE30 (King'S Lynn). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical PE30 5 home went from £30,400 in 1995 to £161,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 144%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE30 5 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 (+32.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−20.3%). 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) | −1.2% | −3.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −1.0% |
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
How many homes change hands
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 40 sales completed in PE30 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 183 sales a year before the financial crisis and 99 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.
Reading the PE30 5 market
This is a thin market: 40 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the PE30 district median, PE30 5 sits 25% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Rents around PE30 5
The local authority for PE30 5 is King's Lynn and West Norfolk, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £935 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £646 a month here against £1,502 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, King's Lynn and West Norfolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £161,000 median purchase price, a rent of £935 a month (£11,220 a year) works out at a 7.0% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Moving up a bedroom in PE: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the PE area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
