Acle’s property market, as recorded on 27 September 2026, shows a village housing stock of 74 properties currently tracked, split between 45 still actively seeking a buyer and 29 already sold subject to contract. That produces an SSTC rate of 39.2%, a figure that places the village in what the data classifies as a Balanced Market rather than one tilted decisively toward either buyers or sellers. The average asking price across the tracked stock stands at £370,135, though the spread is wide, running from £126,000 up to £1,100,000, which reflects a village housing mix that spans modest starter homes through to substantial detached properties on larger plots. Average time on market currently sits at 149 days, a figure that becomes more meaningful when set against the wider county, and which is addressed in more detail elsewhere in this report.
Snapshot date: 27 September 2026.
The dominant trend visible in Acle’s current figures is one of steady, unremarkable conversion rather than either a rush of activity or a stall. An SSTC rate of 39.2%, drawn from 29 sold subject to contract properties against 74 tracked in total, indicates that a meaningful minority of listed stock is finding buyers, while the remaining 45 properties are still working through the market. The average days on market figure of 149 days is the clearest quantitative signal of pace, and it is a figure that reads as brisk when measured against the county context described later in this report. There is no indication in the current data of a sudden acceleration or a cooling shock; the numbers describe a market moving at a consistent, moderate rhythm.
Acle sits in a Balanced Market position as of this snapshot, a classification borne out by the relationship between its 45 active listings and its 29 SSTC properties. Neither figure is extreme enough to suggest sellers are being overwhelmed with competing offers, nor is the volume of unsold stock large enough to suggest buyers can dictate terms freely. The 39.2% SSTC rate supports this reading directly: it is high enough to show genuine buyer engagement with the village, but not so high that every listing is converting quickly. Sellers should expect serious interest from qualified buyers rather than immediate multiple offers, and buyers should expect to negotiate on realistic terms rather than needing to outbid rivals.
Momentum in Acle at this snapshot is best described as stable rather than shifting sharply in either direction. The current SSTC total of 29 properties, set against 74 tracked overall, represents a consistent rate of conversion rather than a sudden surge or a stalling of demand. The average days on market figure of 149 days is a single snapshot rather than a trend line, but combined with the Balanced Market classification it points to a village where correctly priced homes continue to move through to SSTC status at a workable pace, without the urgency that would characterise a hot market or the drift that would characterise a genuinely slow one.
For buyers currently active in Acle, the negotiating position is reasonably favourable but not one-sided. With 45 properties still actively for sale and an average days-on-market figure of 149 days, there is little pressure to move on the first viewing, and buyers with mortgage agreements in principle and a clear read of comparable Land Registry evidence are in a strong position to negotiate on price. For sellers, the 39.2% SSTC rate is evidence that well-priced homes are converting, which argues against significant reductions at the outset but does support pricing that reflects actual completed sales rather than aspirational asking figures, given the 149-day average suggests overpricing carries a real time cost.
We at The Ivybridge Collection treat Acle as a village that needs regular, hands-on attention rather than a set-and-forget entry in a wider Norfolk portfolio. Our experience on the ground here is that the 149-day average time on market is not evenly distributed across every street or property type; some homes move considerably faster once priced against genuine Land Registry evidence, while others linger regardless of presentation because the asking price has been anchored to hope rather than to comparable sold data. Working this market closely means we see which properties are attracting the 29 current SSTC agreements and which are among the 45 still waiting, and that distinction shapes the advice we give every seller who instructs us here.
A closer look at Acle’s figures reveals a market whose headline SSTC rate of 39.2% needs to be read alongside both the volume behind it and the time it takes to achieve. Twenty-nine SSTC agreements out of 74 tracked properties is a solid conversion figure for a village of this size, and the 149-day average time on market gives that conversion rate useful context: properties are not sitting indefinitely, but nor are they moving in a matter of weeks. The price range of £126,000 to £1,100,000 is unusually wide for a single village, spanning nearly a million pounds, which means the average price of £370,135 should be treated as a midpoint of a genuinely diverse stock rather than a figure that describes a typical Acle home. The Land Registry completions available for this report, six sales in total, are dominated by semi-detached properties at five of the six, with prices clustered between £199,000 and £293,000, a range that sits comfortably below the current average asking price and is a useful anchor for anyone assessing what a realistic offer looks like.
Buying in Acle currently means entering a market with 45 active listings and no evidence of the kind of competitive pressure that forces rushed decisions. The average days-on-market figure of 149 days gives buyers room to view properties properly, arrange surveys, and negotiate rather than feeling compelled to make an immediate offer. The price range on offer, from £126,000 to £1,100,000, means the village genuinely accommodates very different budgets, so the first practical step for any buyer is deciding which segment of that range actually matches their needs rather than assuming Acle has a single typical price point. Recent completed sales recorded by the Land Registry, at £199,000, £235,000, £260,000 and £293,000, offer a useful reality check against asking prices in the £199,000 to £293,000 bracket specifically.
Our considered view of Acle is that it rewards buyers and sellers who deal in specifics rather than generalities. The village’s wide price range, from £126,000 to £1,100,000, means that anyone treating the average price of £370,135 as a description of a typical Acle home is working from an incomplete picture. What we see consistently is that the properties which convert to SSTC within a reasonable timeframe, rather than sitting near or beyond the current 149-day average, are the ones priced against genuine comparable evidence, whether that is the Land Registry completions cited in this report or a careful reading of what similar homes on the same street have actually achieved.
An investor assessing Acle at this snapshot has a price range to work with running from £126,000 to £1,100,000, against a village average of £370,135. The Land Registry completions available for this report show recent transactions between £199,000 and £293,000, all but one of them semi-detached properties, which gives a concrete entry point for that specific property type rather than a speculative one. The current SSTC rate of 39.2%, alongside 45 properties still actively marketed, suggests a village where stock is neither scarce nor stagnant, and the average days-on-market figure of 149 days is a reasonable planning assumption for how long a correctly priced acquisition might take to secure.
The completed sales data available for Acle through the Land Registry is limited to six transactions, but it is instructive: five of the six were semi-detached properties, priced at £235,000, £293,000 and three separate sales at £199,000, while the single detached sale completed at £260,000. This sample is too small to draw firm conclusions about every property type in the village, but it does show that recent completed semi-detached sales have clustered in the £199,000 to £293,000 band, sitting well below the current average asking price of £370,135 across all active and SSTC listings. That gap is a reminder that the average asking price reflects the full current stock, including higher-value detached homes toward the top of the £126,000 to £1,100,000 range, rather than the price level at which most recent transactions have actually completed.
As of 27 September 2026, Acle has 74 properties tracked in total, of which 45 remain actively for sale and 29 are already sold subject to contract. Prices across the active and SSTC stock span from £126,000 to £1,100,000, with an average of £370,135, confirming a village market that covers a genuinely broad spectrum of buyer budgets rather than clustering around a single price band. The 39.2% SSTC rate means a substantial share of the current stock has already found a buyer, leaving the 45 still-active listings as the pool that current buyers are choosing from, with an average of 149 days on market giving a reasonable expectation of how long that pool typically takes to clear.
The following figures are drawn from Land Registry records and represent legally completed transactions in Acle, distinct from the SSTC and active listings described elsewhere in this report. Six completions are available: 48, Fletcher Way sold for £260,000 as a detached property on 9 July 2026; 11, New Close sold for £235,000 as a semi-detached property on 6 July 2026; 78, St Edmunds Road sold for £293,000 as a semi-detached property on 2 July 2026; and 45, Market Manor, which appears three times in the Land Registry record, each sale showing a semi-detached property sold for £199,000 with a recorded date of 20 April 2026. Across this sample of six sales, one was detached and five were semi-detached, and prices ranged from £199,000 to £293,000.
Set against the wider Norfolk county average, drawn from 341 other areas in this tenant’s coverage, Acle presents as notably more affordable and considerably quicker moving. The county average price of £860,354 sits £490,218 above Acle’s average of £370,135, a difference of 57.0%, meaning a typical Norfolk property costs substantially more than the equivalent in this village. On pace, Acle’s average days on market of 149 days is 97 days fewer than the Norfolk average of 246 days, indicating that properties here are, on the whole, converting to SSTC considerably faster than the county norm.
Each of Acle’s three nearest comparison areas carries a materially higher average price, and the gaps are large enough to matter for anyone weighing up locations across East Norfolk. Moulton St Mary averages £542,857, a difference of £172,722 above Acle, with an SSTC rate of 42.9%. Beighton averages £470,000, a difference of £99,865, with an SSTC rate of 50.0%. Upton averages £466,538, a difference of £96,403, with an SSTC rate of 46.2%. All three neighbouring areas also show higher SSTC rates than Acle’s own 39.2%, which suggests Acle currently offers comparatively more affordable entry points alongside a slightly less competitive conversion pace than its immediate neighbours.
Acle sits on the A47 between Norwich and Great Yarmouth, on the edge of the Norfolk Broads and close to the River Bure, a position that has long given it a working village character rather than that of a purely residential commuter settlement. It has its own primary school, a parish church, a weekly market that has run for generations, and a scattering of independent shops and pubs that serve both residents and the boating traffic that passes through the Broads in summer. The housing stock mirrors this mixed character, taking in period cottages close to the centre, post-war and more recent estate housing on the village’s edges, and larger detached properties on plots that reflect its semi-rural setting. It is not a village built around a single defining feature, and that plainness is itself part of its appeal to buyers who want genuine Norfolk village life without the premium attached to more overtly picturesque settlements.
Selling in Acle at this snapshot means working within a Balanced Market rather than relying on a seller’s advantage. With 45 properties currently competing for buyer attention and an average of 149 days on market, a realistic guide price set against actual completed sales, rather than against the upper end of the £126,000 to £1,100,000 range, is the single most important decision a seller will make. The Land Registry completions cited in this report, at £199,000 to £293,000 for recent semi-detached sales, give a concrete starting point for that pricing conversation, and the current 39.2% SSTC rate confirms that correctly positioned homes are converting, provided the asking price reflects genuine market evidence rather than optimistic comparison with the highest listings in the village.
Choosing an agent for a sale or purchase in Acle is, in practical terms, a decision about who has the most accurate and current picture of a village where prices range from £126,000 to £1,100,000 and where recent completed sales sit meaningfully below the current average asking price. The Ivybridge Collection tracks Acle’s live listings, SSTC conversions and Land Registry completions as an ongoing part of its Norfolk coverage, which means guidance on pricing, timing and negotiation is grounded in the same 149-day average and 39.2% SSTC rate reported throughout this page, rather than in general assumptions about the wider county.
Acle is an active part of The Ivybridge Collection’s Norfolk coverage, monitored on the same continuous basis as the village’s near neighbours. Our presence here is built on tracking the live figures reported throughout this page, the 74 currently listed properties, the 29 SSTC agreements, and the Land Registry completions that ground our pricing advice in actual transactions rather than asking-price assumptions. That regular contact with Acle’s market means we are able to speak to specific streets and property types rather than offering advice pitched at Norfolk in general.
The most consequential decision facing an Acle seller right now is setting a guide price that reflects the village’s actual completed transactions rather than the top of its wide £126,000 to £1,100,000 range. The Land Registry completions cited in this report, clustered between £199,000 and £293,000 for recent semi-detached sales, are the most reliable evidence available, and pricing significantly above that evidence risks adding unnecessary time to a sale in a market already averaging 149 days. Buyers, meanwhile, should treat the current 39.2% SSTC rate as confirmation that realistically priced homes are moving, and should approach negotiations with comparable sold evidence in hand rather than relying solely on the asking price of the property they are viewing.
This report on Acle is produced by The Ivybridge Collection and reflects data as recorded on 27 September 2026. The figures cited, including the average price of £370,135, the SSTC rate of 39.2%, the average days on market of 149 days, and the Land Registry completions ranging from £199,000 to £293,000, are drawn directly from live listing data and official sold-price records at the time of writing and are not projections or estimates.
If you are weighing up a sale or purchase in Acle, an assessment grounded in the current 39.2% SSTC rate, the 149-day average time on market, and the Land Registry completions detailed in this report will give a far more useful starting point than a generic asking-price comparison. Get in touch with The Ivybridge Collection for a valuation that reflects what is actually happening in the village right now, rather than a broad Norfolk average.
Anyone comparing Acle against its immediate surroundings will find useful context in the market reports for its three nearest areas, each of which carries a distinctly different price profile. Moulton St Mary sits considerably higher on average price with a stronger SSTC rate, Beighton shows the highest SSTC conversion of the three at 50.0%, and Upton offers a price point close to Beighton’s alongside its own SSTC pattern. Reading those reports alongside this one gives a fuller sense of how Acle’s affordability and pace compare across East Norfolk.
