How Oak Lane, Norwich prices moved
The chart tracks the median Oak Lane, Norwich house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2024. 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 | 4 | £70,750 | £157,098 |
| 2000s | 3 | £230,000 | £418,992 |
| 2010s | 1 | £73,422 | £103,525 |
| 2020s | 2 | £320,000 | £326,957 |
The highest yearly median on record for Oak Lane, Norwich is £415,000 in 2024; the lowest is £57,317 in 1997. Across the full 29-year record the cash median has moved from £85,250 to £415,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £184,927, so the real change over the whole record is +136.1% — about +3.12% 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: +465.2% in cash against +272.5% 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.

The most recent sales
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.

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 Oak Lane, Norwich 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. Oak Lane, Norwich 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 | 78 | 60.9% | £245,000 | £27,000 – £710,000 |
| Semi-detached | 38 | 29.7% | £165,000 | £33,000 – £415,000 |
| Terraced | 12 | 9.4% | £120,000 | £73,422 – £302,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Oak Lane, Norwich
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 128 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 | 128 | 100.0% | £201,000 |
| New build | 14 | 10.9% | £88,000 |
| Existing home | 114 | 89.1% | £218,750 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -59.8%. 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 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.

Living in Oak Lane, Norwich
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 |

| B | 9,472 | 13.5% |
| C | 19,939 | 28.4% |

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 £201,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 5.51% 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 NR9, 1 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 0 violent, 0 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 1 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.

Within Norwich the street ranks 1680 of 4381 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £162,500 (+23.7%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,942 per square metre, across 14 of the 128 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Oak Lane, Norwich 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.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Oak Lane, Norwich?

When were Oak Lane, Norwich house prices at their highest?
