Bellinge market report NN3, Northampton
The NN3 (Bellinge) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 38,447 registered sales in NN3 (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: 411 registered 2026 sales put the NN3 (Northampton) median at £270,000, up 6% on five years earlier, with a mean of £290,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,170 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 38,447 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
NN3 is a postcode district covering Abington (East), Bellinge, Blackthorn in Northampton. It is the most useful size for market figures: tight enough to describe somewhere real, large enough that sales keep coming and the medians hold steady.

A typical NN3 home, priced year by year (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.

| 1995 | £45,000 | £97,823 | 1,125 |
In cash terms the typical NN3 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £270,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 176%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NN3 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 (+20.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−5.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £360,000 against £147,500 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.7% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.7% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 736 sales completed in NN3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,644 sales a year before the financial crisis and 812 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The rental side of NN3
The local authority for NN3 is West Northamptonshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Set against the £270,000 median sold price, £1,072 a month is £12,864 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: 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.
NN3 (Bellinge): the questions that come up
How much did a house sell for in NN3 (Bellinge)?
Are property prices falling in NN3 (Bellinge)?
Is NN3 (Bellinge) a good place to buy a house?
Are NN3 prices heading up or down?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 6% over five years in cash but down 17% 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 NN3 now

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.
Listed against sold: the NN3 mix
Sellers of detached homes in NN3 have company: 50% of current listings against 29% of recent sales. When a type is offered faster than it sells, the buyer usually holds the better hand.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 50% | 29% |
| Semi-detached | 33% | 40% |
| Terraced | 17% | 25% |
| Flats | 0% | 5% |
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 NN3 sells
Across the 4,926 sales completed in NN3 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (11.1% of the total) and April the quietest (6.6%). That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 369 | 7.5% |
| February | 397 | 8.1% |
| March | 546 | 11.1% |
| April | 324 | 6.6% |
| May | 363 | 7.4% |
| June | 418 | 8.5% |

Bedroom by bedroom: NN prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the NN area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is 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.
