In cash terms the typical NN2 8 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £275,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 143%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NN2 8 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 (+21.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−9.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.5% | −5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 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.
Sales activity in NN2 8
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 95 sales completed in NN2 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 308 sales a year before the financial crisis and 234 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market NN2 8 is

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,072 a month is £12,864 a year, which against the £275,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

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.
