Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Half Moon Lane, Diss values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Half Moon Lane, Diss 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 | 69 | 95.8% | £280,000 | £25,000 – £1,065,000 |
| Semi-detached | 3 | 4.2% | £49,000 | £34,000 – £101,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Half Moon Lane, Diss
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 72 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 | 72 | 100.0% | £275,000 |
| New build | 4 | 5.6% | £90,500 |
| Existing home | 68 | 94.4% | £285,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -68.2%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 1 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.
Section 07
Living in Half Moon Lane, Diss
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Breckland, 43.6% of 70,247 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.9% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1,221 | 1.7% |
| B | 9,472 | 13.5% |
| C | 19,939 | 28.4% |
| D | 24,152 | 34.4% |
| E | 11,327 | 16.1% |
| F | 3,356 | 4.8% |
| G | 780 | 1.1% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Breckland at £923 a month as of Jun 2026 — £661 for a one-bedroom home and £1,039 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £275,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 4.03% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of IP22, 1 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 0 violent, 0 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 0 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 100.0 times quieter.
Against the 141,476 residents the 2021 census counted in Breckland, that is 0.01 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Half Moon Lane, Diss
The 2021 census counted 141,476 residents in Breckland across 60,358 households. 67.8% of those households own their home and 32.2% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
13 state and independent schools have a IP22 postcode: 12 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Half Moon Lane, Diss compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Half Moon Lane, Diss sits above that national figure — +74.6%.
Within Diss the street ranks 96 of 466 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £173,000 (+59.0%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £25,000 to £1,065,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Half Moon Lane, Diss sits in Breckland, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Breckland at 7.9 times median local earnings of £33,621 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Half Moon Lane, Diss?
The median price paid in Half Moon Lane, Diss across every sale on the register is £275,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Half Moon Lane, Diss?
72 sales are on record for Half Moon Lane, Diss, the most recent completing on 7 Nov 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Half Moon Lane, Diss house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +200.9% between 1996 and 2008. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +132.8%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Half Moon Lane, Diss house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £340,000, set in 2008. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Half Moon Lane, Diss?
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 7 Nov 2025. 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.
