Kingsthorpe market report NN2, Northampton
The NN2 (Kingsthorpe) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 23,160 registered sales in NN2 (Northampton) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to August 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: the 2026 median for NN2 (Northampton) is £250,000, from 234 registered sales, up 4% on five years earlier; the mean is £284,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,110 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 23,160 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
NN2 is the postcode district covering Kingsthorpe, Boughton in Northampton. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

In cash terms the typical NN2 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 174%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NN2 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 (+23.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.1%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.1% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £367,500 against £135,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

How many homes change hands in NN2
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
NN2 recorded 440 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 937 sales a year before the financial crisis and 566 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.
Rents around NN2
NN2 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.
£1,072 a month is £12,864 a year, which against the £250,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.1%. 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 happens to NN2 prices now?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 4% over five years in cash but down 18% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What you could buy in NN2 now

Listed against sold: the NN2 mix
Flats are 31% of what is listed in NN2 but 6% of what sold over 2024 and 2025: the market is being offered more of them than it has been taking, which tends to give a buyer of one room to talk.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 14% | 21% |
| Semi-detached | 22% | 37% |
| Terraced | 33% | 36% |
| Flats | 31% | 6% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares.
Month by month: when NN2 sells
June is when NN2 changes hands most (10.1% of the 3,522 sales dated 2021 to 2025); April is the quiet end at 6.7%. With so little between the busiest and quietest months, NN2 sells year round; the calendar is a weaker lever than price.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025

|---|---|---|
| January | 264 | 7.5% |
| February | 251 | 7.1% |

What another bedroom costs in NN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NN area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £255,000 | £286,000 (+12%) | £325,000 (+14%) | £410,000 (+26%) | £569,995 (+39%) |
| Semi-detached | £212,500 | £234,995 (+11%) | £265,000 (+13%) | £317,000 (+20%) | £415,000 (+31%) |
| Terraced | £185,000 | £210,000 (+14%) | £218,000 (+4%) | £275,000 (+26%) | £310,000 (+13%) |
| Flat | £117,000 | £143,500 (+23%) | £169,000 (+18%) | £190,000 (+12%) | £250,000 (+32%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
