How Watton Road, Attleborough prices moved
The chart tracks the median Watton Road, Attleborough house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2021. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2 | £60,875 | £135,171 |
| 2000s | 1 | £167,500 | £305,136 |
| 2020s | 1 | £385,000 | £393,370 |
The highest yearly median on record for Watton Road, Attleborough is £385,000 in 2021; the lowest is £60,875 in 1996. Across the full 26-year record the cash median has moved from £60,875 to £385,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £132,052, so the real change over the whole record is +268.4% — about +5.35% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +129.9% in cash against +59.4% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Watton Road, Attleborough is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 52 | 65.0% | £223,000 | £60,000 – £775,000 |
| Semi-detached | 28 | 35.0% | £137,000 | £16,000 – £347,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Watton Road, Attleborough
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 80 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 80 | 100.0% | £169,000 |
A further 6 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

How many homes have sold in Watton Road, Attleborough?
80 sales are on record for Watton Road, Attleborough, the most recent completing on 2 Dec 2024. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 2 Dec 2024. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
