In cash terms the typical NN5 6 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £275,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 148%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NN5 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 2003 (+29.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−4.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NN5 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.8% | −4.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −3.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Sales activity in NN5 6
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
NN5 6 recorded 127 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 463 sales a year before the financial crisis and 290 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.
What tenants pay around NN5 6
NN5 6 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.
Set against the £275,000 median sold price, £1,072 a month is £12,864 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: NN prices by size
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £291,500 | £385,000 (+32%) | £569,996 (+48%) | £752,854 (+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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
