In cash terms the typical NN4 6 home went from £77,500 in 1995 to £339,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 101%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NN4 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 (+25.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−6.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NN4 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.9% | −9.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in NN4 6
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.
NN4 6 recorded 74 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 405 sales a year before the financial crisis and 166 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.
The shape of the NN4 6 market
Within NN4, this sector trades 13% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around NN4 6
The local authority for NN4 6 is West Northamptonshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,072 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £744 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,665, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £339,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. 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.

48% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

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.
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. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £291,500 | £385,000 (+32%) | £569,996 (+48%) | £752,854 (+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.
