At the time of this report, Hempnall’s for sale market is a small, high value pocket of the village: just 4 properties are currently listed, of which 1 is sold subject to contract and 3 remain actively on the market. That gives an SSTC rate of 25.0%, a figure built on a single agreed sale rather than a broad run of transactions. Asking prices on the live listings range from £1,195,000 to £1,500,000, with an average of £1,398,750, and the average time these properties have spent on the market stands at 250 days. Taken together, the current conditions are classified as a buyers’ market, reflecting the limited number of active listings competing for attention at this price level.
Current listings: 4 properties for sale in Hempnall, comprising 3 active listings and 1 sold subject to contract, an SSTC rate of 25.0%.

With only 4 properties listed and just 1 under offer, Hempnall’s current trend data has to be read with appropriate caution: a 25.0% SSTC rate looks respectable on paper, but it describes a single transaction rather than a wave of buyer activity. The more telling figure is the 250 day average time on market, which sits 4 days above the Norfolk county average of 245 days, suggesting that the properties currently listed, all priced between £1,195,000 and £1,500,000, are taking a measured amount of time to attract a buyer at this level. There is no evidence here of rapid price movement in either direction, only a thin, upper end segment of stock moving at an unhurried pace.
Hempnall sits on the buyers’ side of the market at present. Of the 4 properties currently listed, 3 are still actively seeking a buyer and only 1 has gone under offer, producing an SSTC rate of 25.0% against an average marketing period of 250 days. With asking prices concentrated in a narrow band from £1,195,000 to £1,500,000, buyers interested in this part of the market currently have a small but genuine choice of comparable homes, and sellers are not benefiting from heavy competing demand for the stock on offer.
Momentum in Hempnall’s current listings is best described as stable rather than building or fading. One sale has moved to SSTC against 3 still active, and the 250 day average time on market indicates that interest in this upper price band is steady but unhurried. There is nothing in the current data to suggest the market here is accelerating toward a run of fresh sales, nor is it showing clear signs of cooling beyond the level already reflected in its buyers’ market classification.
Buyer negotiation position: reasonably strong. With 3 of the 4 current listings still actively seeking a buyer and an average marketing period of 250 days, buyers considering a purchase in this price band are not under pressure from a queue of competing offers. Sellers of properties priced between £1,195,000 and £1,500,000 should expect buyers to negotiate on the basis of that extended average time on market, though with only a handful of comparable listings in play, each negotiation here is likely to be judged on its own specific property rather than a wider market trend.
From our ongoing coverage of Hempnall within The Ivybridge Collection‘s South Norfolk patch, what stands out this year is how concentrated the current for sale market is at the top end: just 4 properties listed, all priced above £1,195,000, a world away from the far more modest figures recorded in recent completed sales across the village. That gap between what is currently asking and what has recently achieved tells us this is a market where patient, well informed pricing matters more than ever, and where we spend real time understanding who the realistic buyer pool is for a £1.2 million to £1.5 million home in this particular village.
The most striking feature of Hempnall’s figures at present is the gap between the current asking prices and recently completed sales. The 4 live listings average £1,398,750 and sit entirely within a £1,195,000 to £1,500,000 band, yet the most recent Land Registry completions for the village range from £116,000 to £565,000, with none above £565,000. This is not evidence of rapid price growth, it reflects the fact that the handful of properties currently marketed happen to sit at the higher end of the village’s housing stock, while the bulk of actual recent transactions have been considerably more modest family homes. With an SSTC rate of 25.0% resting on a single agreed sale and an average of 250 days on market, this remains a thinly stocked, buyers’ favoured segment rather than a broad cross section of the village market.
Buying in Hempnall at this price level currently means choosing from a short list: 3 properties are actively for sale between £1,195,000 and £1,500,000, with a fourth already under offer. That limited choice is balanced by an average marketing period of 250 days, which gives a genuinely interested buyer room to take their time, arrange proper surveys and negotiate without the pressure of multiple competing bids. Buyers should also look beyond the current asking prices to the village’s recent completed sales, which range from £116,000 to £565,000, as a reminder that Hempnall’s housing stock is considerably more varied than the current top end listings alone suggest.
Our considered view is that Hempnall’s current market is less a story of change than of a narrow, high value window of stock finding its own pace. Four listings, one of them already agreed, and an average of 250 days on market, is not a dataset that points to urgency in either direction. What it does suggest is a village where upper end homes sell on their individual merits and to a genuinely interested buyer, rather than in response to broader market momentum, and sellers at this level should plan their marketing timeline accordingly.
An investor looking at Hempnall today needs to separate two distinct pictures. The current for sale listings average £1,398,750, all priced between £1,195,000 and £1,500,000, which is not typical entry level investment stock. Recent Land Registry completions tell a different story, ranging from £116,000 for a detached property on Willow Drive to £565,000 for a detached home on Alburgh Road, with semi-detached and terraced sales in between. With a buyers’ market classification and an average of 250 days on market for current listings, any investment case here rests more on the completed sales evidence than on the handful of higher value homes presently marketed.
Recent completed sales in Hempnall show a clear link between property type and price. Of the 6 Land Registry transactions recorded, 3 were semi-detached, selling between £198,000 and £305,000, 2 were detached, ranging from £116,000 to £565,000, and 1 was terraced, at £265,000. The current 4 listings on the market, by contrast, are priced well above any of these recent completions, between £1,195,000 and £1,500,000, indicating that the present for sale stock represents a different, higher tier of property than the semi-detached and terraced homes that have made up most of the village’s recent completed activity.
As of this report, 4 properties are listed for sale in Hempnall. Of these, 3 remain actively on the market and 1 is sold subject to contract, giving an SSTC rate of 25.0%. Asking prices across the active and agreed listings range from £1,195,000 to £1,500,000, with an average of £1,398,750, and properties here have been marketed for an average of 250 days. This is a small, consistently high value slice of the village’s overall housing stock rather than a broad spread of price points.
Land Registry data records 6 completed sales in Hempnall in recent months. Meadow View, The Street, a semi-detached house, sold for £305,000 on 2026-08-14. 35 Alburgh Road, a detached house, sold for £565,000 on 2026-07-24. 5 Roberts Close, a semi-detached house, sold for £235,000 on 2026-07-10. 13 Nuttele Close, a semi-detached house, sold for £198,000 on 2026-07-07. 21 Willow Drive, a detached house, sold for £116,000 on 2026-06-25. 16A Coronation Crescent, a terraced house, sold for £265,000 on 2026-03-31. These completed prices sit well below the £1,195,000 to £1,500,000 range of the properties currently on the market, underlining that current asking prices represent a different tier of the village’s housing stock from what has recently sold.
Hempnall’s average asking price of £1,398,750 sits £541,422 above the Norfolk county average of £857,328, a difference of 63.2%. Properties here are also taking slightly longer to sell than the county as a whole, averaging 250 days on market compared with the Norfolk average of 245 days, a difference of 4 days. Both figures reflect the fact that the current listings in Hempnall sit at the upper end of the price scale, rather than a broad-based premium across all property types in the village.
Hempnall’s average asking price of £1,398,750 places it between its nearest neighbours rather than clearly above or below all of them. Tasburgh has a higher average price of £1,815,000, a difference of £416,250, and a stronger SSTC rate of 33.3% against Hempnall’s 25.0%. Saxlingham Nethergate sits considerably lower, at an average of £950,000, a difference of £448,750, with an SSTC rate of 0.0%, well below Hempnall’s. Long Stratton is the closest comparison in price terms, averaging £1,460,000, just £61,250 above Hempnall, with an SSTC rate of 20.0%, slightly lower than Hempnall’s own.
Hempnall is a village in South Norfolk, sitting within the same local patch as Tasburgh, Saxlingham Nethergate and Long Stratton, the three areas used for comparison in this report. Its own figures point to a genuinely mixed housing stock. Land Registry sales recorded in recent months span from £116,000 for a detached home on Willow Drive to £565,000 for a detached house on Alburgh Road, while the properties currently listed for sale sit in an entirely separate band, between £1,195,000 and £1,500,000. That spread, from modest semi-detached and terraced homes through to the higher value properties now on the market, is the clearest evidence available of the real range of property that exists within the village.
Selling in Hempnall at present means marketing into a genuinely small pool of comparable stock, just 3 other active listings alongside any new instruction, all priced between £1,195,000 and £1,500,000. With an average of 250 days to sell at this level, sellers should plan for a considered, patient marketing campaign rather than expecting a quick turnaround, and should price with reference to the village’s actual completed sales, which have ranged from £116,000 to £565,000, as well as to the current, higher priced competition.
Selling or buying into a market as narrow as Hempnall’s current one, just 4 listings and a single agreed sale, calls for an agency that treats each property individually rather than relying on broad market trend lines that do not really apply to a sample this size. We bring a genuine understanding of how this village’s recent completed sales, from £116,000 to £565,000, sit alongside its current higher value listings, and we use that evidence, rather than guesswork, when advising on pricing and offer strategy here.
The Ivybridge Collection covers Hempnall as part of its wider South Norfolk area, tracking the village’s current listings, its SSTC activity and its completed Land Registry sales alongside those of its immediate neighbours, including Tasburgh, Saxlingham Nethergate and Long Stratton. That local familiarity means we can place Hempnall’s current small cluster of high value listings in proper context against both the village’s own sales history and the surrounding market, rather than treating any single figure in isolation.
Our professional advice differs depending on where a property sits in Hempnall’s market. Anyone selling a typical village home should anchor pricing to the Land Registry evidence, since the village’s recent completions, from £116,000 to £565,000, represent real agreed outcomes for that part of the stock. Anyone selling at the upper end, in the £1,195,000 to £1,500,000 band where the current listings sit, has no directly comparable completed sales to draw on, so pricing there should be set against the current competition and the realistic 250 day average time on market those listings are experiencing, with marketing and any chain requirements planned around that timeframe rather than a faster sale.
