Are new homes being built in Fakenham?

12 of the 324 postcodes now in use in Fakenham came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 1 of the 121 homes sold in Fakenham were newly built (Under 1%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the NR21 district, 2%.

The newest postcodes

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.

New homes among the homes sold

PeriodIn FakenhamAcross the NR21 district
The 12 months to August 2026 0 of 105 (0%) 1 of 190 (Under 1%)
The 12 months to August 2025 1 of 121 (Under 1%) 5 of 235 (2%)

Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 9 of 324 postcodes High: 5Medium: 1Low: 60

It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.
