In cash terms the typical PE31 6 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £308,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 183%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE31 6 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 (+32.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.3%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.7% | +0.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
PE31 6 recorded 47 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 196 sales a year before the financial crisis and 100 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.
The rental side of PE31 6
The local authority for PE31 6 is King's Lynn and West Norfolk, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £935 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £646 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,502 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, King's Lynn and West Norfolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £308,000 median sold price, £935 a month is £11,220 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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 shape of the PE31 6 market
This is a thin market: 47 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. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in PE
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the PE area. 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 | — | £245,000 | £338,000 (+38%) | £482,750 (+43%) | £645,000 (+34%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
