In cash terms the typical NN8 1 home went from £30,000 in 1995 to £195,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 199%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 37% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NN8 1 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 (+36.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−30.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −30.4% | −32.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.4% | −7.9% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | −3.1% | −7.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 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.
Sales activity in NN8 1
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 54 NN8 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 210 sales a year recently, against 253 a year before 2008. 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.
What kind of market NN8 1 is
This is a thin market: 54 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 NN8, this sector trades 17% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of NN8 1
NN8 1 falls under North Northamptonshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £984 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £677 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,518 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Northamptonshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £195,000 median sold price, £984 a month is £11,808 a year, a gross yield of 6.1%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in NN: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NN area, 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%) |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
