Kingsthorpe market report NN2 6, Northampton

The NN2 6 (Kingsthorpe) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 6,551 HM Land Registry entries for NN2 6 (Northampton), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: 45 registered 2026 sales put the NN2 6 (Northampton) median at £215,000, up 9% on five years earlier, with a mean of £238,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,610 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 6,551 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

NN2 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside NN2 (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.

NN2 6 sold prices: where the market stands

The 2026 median for NN2 6 is £215,000, taken from 45 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £238,600, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.

NN2 6 prices by floor area

Per square metre, NN2 6 homes have averaged around £2,610 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.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, NN2 6 runs 25% below it.

In cash terms the typical NN2 6 home went from £38,500 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 157%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+24.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−15.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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.

Sales activity in NN2 6

The register shows 45 NN2 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 309 sales a year before the financial crisis and 114 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 kind of market NN2 6 is

Only 45 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NN2 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the NN2 district median, NN2 6 sits 14% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Rents around NN2 6

NN2 6 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.

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.

Common questions on NN2 6 (Kingsthorpe)

Are NN2 6 prices heading up or down?

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 9% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
