In cash terms the typical NN5 5 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 215%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 5% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NN5 5 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 2002 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +12.1% | +9.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
NN5 5 recorded 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 251 sales a year before the financial crisis and 76 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 shape of the NN5 5 market
This is a thin market: 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within NN5, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around NN5 5
For renting purposes NN5 5 sits in West Northamptonshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,072 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £744 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,665 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, West Northamptonshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £240,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,072 a month (£12,864 a year) works out at a 5.4% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Bedroom by bedroom: NN prices by size
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 | — | £291,500 | £385,000 (+32%) | £569,996 (+48%) | £752,854 (+32%) |
| Semi-detached | £220,250 | £250,000 (+14%) | £287,810 (+15%) | £360,000 (+25%) | £525,000 (+46%) |

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.
