In cash terms the typical NN12 6 home went from £58,500 in 1995 to £313,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 147%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NN12 6 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 2000 (+23.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NN12 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.2% | −9.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.4% | −6.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 96 NN12 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 307 sales a year over the last five years against 220 before the financial crisis. 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 NN12 6
NN12 6 falls under West Northamptonshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,072 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £744 a month here against £1,665 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, West Northamptonshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £313,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,072 a month (£12,864 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.
Reading the NN12 6 market
Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within NN12, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What another bedroom costs in NN
Real sold prices by size across the NN area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
