In cash terms the typical PE37 7 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 104%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PE37 7 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 2001 (+37.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.9%). 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) | −4.1% | −6.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 47 PE37 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 176 sales a year before the financial crisis and 101 a year over the last five. 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 PE37 7 market
Only 47 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PE37 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within PE37, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around PE37 7
The local authority for PE37 7 is Breckland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £920 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £659 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,507 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Breckland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £235,000 median sold price, £920 a month is £11,040 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in PE
Real sold prices by size across the PE 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.
