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 Tortoiseshell Way, Wymondham values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Tortoiseshell Way, Wymondham 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 40 | 57.1% | £135,500 | £30,000 – £292,500 |
| Detached | 17 | 24.3% | £132,000 | £71,000 – £380,000 |
| Terraced | 11 | 15.7% | £100,000 | £70,000 – £200,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 2 | 2.9% | £26,000 | £26,000 – £26,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Tortoiseshell Way, Wymondham
13 of the sales on record are leasehold and 57 freehold — 18.6% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £75,000 and the median freehold sale £136,000 — a gap of +81.3%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 13 | 18.6% | £75,000 |
| Freehold | 57 | 81.4% | £136,000 |
| New build | 21 | 30.0% | £65,250 |
| Existing home | 49 | 70.0% | £159,950 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -59.2%. 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.

Living in Tortoiseshell Way, Wymondham
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across South Norfolk, 48.3% of 69,612 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 6.1% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1,277 | 1.8% |
| B | 13,836 | 19.9% |
| C | 18,491 | 26.6% |
| D | 21,259 | 30.5% |
| E | 10,531 | 15.1% |
| F | 3,381 | 4.9% |
| G | 837 | 1.2% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in South Norfolk at £981 a month as of Jun 2026 — £696 for a one-bedroom home and £1,106 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £110,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 10.70% 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 NR18, 43 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 27 violent, 0 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 8 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 3.9 times quieter.
Against the 141,948 residents the 2021 census counted in South Norfolk, that is 0.30 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 Tortoiseshell Way, Wymondham
The 2021 census counted 141,948 residents in South Norfolk across 61,381 households. 74.4% of those households own their home and 25.6% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
10 state and independent schools have a NR18 postcode: 8 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Tortoiseshell Way, Wymondham sits in South Norfolk, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in South Norfolk at 8.1 times median local earnings of £37,336 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.

The highest yearly median on record is £65,190, set in 1999. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

The latest sale shown here completed on 16 Dec 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.
