Northampton market report NN
The NN (Northampton) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 422,795 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in the NN postcode area (Northampton) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 3,897 registered 2026 sales put the the NN postcode area (Northampton) median at £265,000, up 4% on five years earlier, with a mean of £303,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,120 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 422,795 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
The figures for NN centred on Northampton run across 19 districts, the broad sweep by design. For a specific place, drop down to its district report below.

The going rate for a home in NN
The 2026 median for NN is £265,000, taken from 3,897 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £303,100, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
Price per square metre in NN
Per square metre, NN homes have averaged around £3,120 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts NN 7% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical NN home went from £45,500 in 1995 to £265,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 168%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NN median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+23.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−4.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.3% | −6.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 32% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £385,000 against £140,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
NN recorded 8,543 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 18,097 sales a year before the financial crisis and 9,830 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around NN
For renting purposes NN sits in West Northamptonshire, the local authority covering most of the NN area (parts fall under North Northamptonshire, where rents differ). The ONS average private rent there is £1,072 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £744 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,665 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, West Northamptonshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £265,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,072 a month (£12,864 a year) works out at a 4.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

What happens to NN prices now?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 4% over five years in cash but down 18% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
NN's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in NN sold for. The live side of the market holds 2,137 homes at the moment, listed by 12 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 9% above the NN median sold price.
30% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Swinford Hollow, Little Billing, Nort...
- Berrywood Drive, Duston, Northampton
- Lancers Way, Weedon, Northamptonshire
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: NN prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NN area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £291,500 | £385,000 (+32%) | £569,996 (+48%) | £752,854 (+32%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
