In cash terms the typical NN5 4 home went from £97,500 in 1995 to £295,000 in 2026, roughly 3.0 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 39%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NN5 4 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 2021 (+30.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2006 (−20.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NN5 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.7% | +0.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
NN5 4 recorded 43 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 173 sales a year over the last five years against 122 before the financial crisis. 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.
Reading the NN5 4 market
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NN5 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within NN5, this sector trades 13% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around NN5 4
The local authority for NN5 4 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 £295,000 median sold price, £1,072 a month is £12,864 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in NN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NN area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
