Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: 63 registered 2026 sales put the NN1 4 (Northampton) median at £215,000, up 1% on five years earlier, with a mean of £231,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,540 per square metre over the last five years.

NN1 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside NN1 (Northampton). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What NN1 4 homes really sell for

Price per square metre in NN1 4
The last five years of sales put NN1 4 at roughly £2,540 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

The price of a typical NN1 4 home, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical NN1 4 home went from £40,200 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 146%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NN1 4 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 2002 (+25.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.7%). 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 year (since 2025) | −7.3% | −9.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.9% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 63 sales completed in NN1 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 365 sales a year before the financial crisis and 127 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around NN1 4
NN1 4 falls under West Northamptonshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,072 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £215,000 median sold price, £1,072 a month is £12,864 a year, a gross yield of 6.0%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

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.
What another bedroom costs in NN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NN area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
