Homes here are taking an average of 203 days to find a buyer, and with 6.7 months of inventory currently on the books, the village offers a fairly generous spread of choice for anyone searching in this stretch of the Yare valley. Asking prices span an unusually wide range, from £95,000 up to £3,750,000, reflecting a market that stretches from modest starter homes to substantial riverside estates.
Surlingham market snapshot as at 1 August 2026:
Property type mix, from a sample of 20 comparable listings: Detached House 70% (14), Semi-Detached House 25% (5), Terraced House 5% (1).
The clearest trend at the time of this report is a modest but positive SSTC growth rate of +15.0%. This shows demand in Surlingham is moving in a positive direction, even though the pace lags behind neighbouring villages such as Bramerton at +42.0% and Rockland St Mary at +30.0%.
Average days on market of 203 remains lengthy in absolute terms, though it compares favourably with the Norfolk county average of 392 days, a gap of 189 days. With 6.7 months of inventory and a price range stretching from £95,000 to £3,750,000, the market shows depth and variety rather than urgency.
With 121 of the 124 properties currently listed still actively seeking a buyer, and only 3 marked sold subject to contract, conditions in Surlingham lean toward buyers having room to be selective. The 6.7 months of inventory on the books and an average marketing period of 203 days both point to a market where sellers should expect a considered rather than immediate sale.
This softer footing shows up clearly when set against its immediate neighbours, several of which record noticeably stronger SSTC rates for a comparable or higher average price.
Momentum in Surlingham is best described as steady rather than accelerating. The SSTC rate of +15.0% indicates buyer interest is building, but the pace sits well behind the increases recorded in Rockland St Mary (+30.0%), Postwick (+25.0%) and Bramerton (+42.0%).
Days on market of 203 has not shortened to the point of creating urgency, and with 6.7 months of inventory still on the books, the market is moving forward at a measured, unhurried pace rather than a rapid one.
For buyers, the current balance of 121 active listings against just 3 properties under offer, combined with an average marketing period of 203 days, translates into genuine room to negotiate.
Sellers pricing realistically against the £546,000 average, and mindful of the wide £95,000 to £3,750,000 range across the local stock, are more likely to secure an offer that reflects true market appetite. With 6.7 months of inventory to work through, patience tends to serve both sides better than an aggressive opening position.
We spend a good deal of our week driving the lanes around Surlingham, from the turning off the main road down toward the river, and what strikes us most is how differently each pocket of this village performs. A well-presented detached house near the church can move relatively quickly, while a property tucked further from the water can sit for considerably longer.
At the time of this report, with 124 homes on the market and only 3 under offer, we are advising sellers to price with real regard to what has actually completed locally, not simply what the neighbours are asking. That distinction matters more in Surlingham than in most villages we cover.
Looking beneath the headline average of £546,000, Surlingham’s market is best understood through its unusually wide £95,000 to £3,750,000 price range for a village of this size. It is this spread, rather than a uniform shift in values, that shapes the current 6.7 months of inventory.
With 124 properties listed and only 3 sold subject to contract, the 203-day average marketing period is consistent with a market working through a broad and varied stock list rather than one that has stalled. The +15.0% SSTC rate suggests this process is progressing, if more slowly than in the immediately surrounding villages.
Buying in Surlingham means accepting that patience is part of the process, with homes here taking an average of 203 days to go under offer. That is not a sign of a market in trouble, it simply reflects the mix of properties available, from smaller homes at the lower end of the £95,000 to £3,750,000 range through to substantial riverside houses.
With 121 properties still actively for sale at the time of this report, buyers have a genuinely wide pool to choose from, and with 6.7 months of inventory outstanding, there is little pressure to rush a decision on the first viewing. Detached houses dominate what is available, so anyone specifically seeking a terraced or semi-detached property may need to widen their search or be ready to act when the right one appears.
Our considered view is that Surlingham sits in an interesting middle ground. At £546,000, the average price here runs 44.5% above the Norfolk county average of £377,821, yet homes still sell 189 days faster than the county’s average of 392 days.
That combination, a premium price achieved in reasonable time, tells us the village retains real pulling power even while its SSTC rate of +15.0% trails the sharper momentum seen in some of its immediate neighbours. For sellers, that means realistic pricing still gets rewarded, it simply takes a properly considered strategy rather than an assumption that any price will do.
An investor weighing up Surlingham should note an average property price of £546,000, an SSTC rate of +15.0%, and an average marketing period of 203 days, comfortably quicker than the Norfolk county average of 392 days.
No rental yield data is currently available for this report, so any income assumptions should be built from independent local letting research rather than headline sales figures. With 6.7 months of inventory and a price range running from £95,000 to £3,750,000, the opportunity set is broad, but so is the due diligence required to identify which end of that range offers genuine long-term value.
Analysis of the 20 comparable listings used in this report shows Surlingham’s current market is dominated by detached houses, accounting for 70% (14) of the sample, with semi-detached houses making up 25% (5) and terraced houses just 5% (1).
That heavy skew toward detached stock helps explain why the overall average price of £546,000 sits well above the Norfolk county average, and why the price range extends as far as £3,750,000. Anyone searching at the more affordable end of the £95,000 to £3,750,000 range is competing for a genuinely small slice of what is currently listed.
Alongside the 124 properties listed directly in Surlingham, comparable evidence from the surrounding NR14 corridor gives a useful read on buyer appetite in this stretch of the Yare valley. In Kirby Bedon, a 5 bedroom detached house on Kirby Road is on the market at £575,000 after 159 days. In Bramerton, a 3 bedroom detached house with elevated riverside views is listed at £725,000 after 106 days, while Hill House Road in the same village carries a £3,750,000 asking price for a 6 bedroom detached house that has only been on the market for 51 days.
Also in Bramerton, Church Farm Close is listed at £775,000 for a 5 bedroom detached house after 138 days. Further along in Framingham Pigot, a 5 bedroom detached house on Bramerton Lane is priced at £1,225,000 after 82 days, while a more modestly sized 3 bedroom detached house on Fox Road is listed at £425,000 after 150 days on the market.
Land Registry records for Surlingham itself show six completed sales over the past year or so, all detached houses. The most recent, Highbanks on Ferry Road, sold for £665,000 on 30 April 2026. Brisimany on Walnut Hill completed at £505,000 on 12 March 2026, and The Nest on Mill Road sold for £565,000 on 12 December 2025.
Earlier in that run, 31 The Street sold for £496,000 on 26 September 2025, 17 The Green completed at £425,000 on 23 May 2025, and Browne’s Croft Barn on Bramerton Road sold for £675,000 on 15 April 2025. Together these six transactions, ranging from £425,000 to £675,000, sit comfortably within the wider £95,000 to £3,750,000 asking price range currently listed.
Surlingham’s average asking price of £546,000 sits 44.5% above the Norfolk county average of £377,821, a difference of £168,179.
Despite that premium, homes here move through the market faster than the county as a whole, with an average of 203 days on market against Norfolk’s 392 days, a gap of 189 days. That combination of higher prices and quicker sales than the county norm suggests Surlingham commands a level of demand that the wider Norfolk figures do not fully reflect.
Set against its closest neighbours, Surlingham’s £546,000 average price is the most affordable of the group. Bramerton averages £607,000, a £61,000 premium, and carries a considerably stronger SSTC rate of +42.0%. Rockland St Mary matches Bramerton at £607,000 average and the same £61,000 difference, with an SSTC rate of +30.0%. Postwick sits closer, at £524,500 average, a £21,500 difference, with an SSTC rate of +25.0%.
In every case, Surlingham’s own SSTC rate of +15.0% is the softest of the four, suggesting that while the village remains competitively priced, buyer momentum in the immediate area is currently stronger elsewhere.
Surlingham is a proper Yare valley village, strung along lanes that eventually give way to marsh, reed and the open water of Surlingham Broad. The Ferry House pub, sitting right on the riverbank and reachable in part by a rowing boat crossing that has operated in some form for centuries, remains the social heart of the place, along with St Saviour’s and St Mary’s, the village’s two ancient churches.
Walkers know Surlingham for the Wherryman’s Way, which threads along the river and draws a steady trickle of visitors in the warmer months. Away from the water, the village has a genuinely mixed housing stock, from old cottages and farmhouses through to more recent family homes, which goes some way to explaining why asking prices here range so widely, from £95,000 right up to £3,750,000.
Selling in Surlingham at the moment means working with 6.7 months of inventory and an average of 203 days to find a buyer, so a considered pricing strategy from day one matters more than an ambitious opening figure.
With 124 properties currently on the market and only 3 sold subject to contract, sellers are competing for attention within a genuinely broad field, particularly given how heavily detached houses dominate the local stock. Presenting a property well, and pricing it against what has actually completed locally rather than what is simply listed, gives a seller the best chance of standing out within that 203-day average window.
Choosing the right agent in Surlingham matters because this is not a uniform market. It stretches from £95,000 starter homes to £3,750,000 riverside estates, and pricing either end wrong carries real consequences given the current 203-day average time to sell.
We track the local Land Registry completions alongside what is genuinely under offer, not just what is listed, so that any valuation we give reflects the market as it actually is, including the fact that Surlingham’s +15.0% SSTC rate currently trails its immediate neighbours. That local grounding is what separates a considered valuation from a hopeful one.
The Ivybridge Collection has built its coverage of this part of the Yare valley through regular contact with sellers, buyers and local solicitors across Surlingham and its neighbouring villages, rather than through occasional drop-in visits.
As part of the wider network at The Ivybridge Collection, our local team is positioned to speak to both the day-to-day character of Surlingham and the harder numbers behind this report, from the current £546,000 average price through to the 203-day marketing period buyers and sellers should plan around.
Our professional advice to anyone selling in Surlingham right now is to commission a proper valuation grounded in the six recent Land Registry completions, which range from £425,000 to £675,000, rather than in aspirational comparison to the highest priced listings on the market, some of which reach £3,750,000.
With 6.7 months of inventory and an average 203-day marketing period, an accurate opening price matters more than in a faster moving market, since an overpriced listing here has more time in which to grow stale. Buyers, meanwhile, should factor the 203-day average into their own planning and treat the current +15.0% SSTC rate, the softest among Surlingham’s immediate neighbours, as a genuine indicator that there is room to negotiate rather than a reason to rush.
