| 1996 | £40,000 | £84,358 | 193 |
| 1995 | £39,000 | £84,780 | 126 |
In cash terms the typical NN8 2 home went from £39,000 in 1995 to £212,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 151%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 24% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NN8 2 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 1998 (+35.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−12.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.0% | −12.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.6% | −5.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The register shows 64 NN8 2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 267 sales a year before the financial crisis and 107 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 rental side of NN8 2
For renting purposes NN8 2 sits in North Northamptonshire. The ONS average private rent there is £984 a month (May 2026). 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.
£984 a month is £11,808 a year, which against the £212,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.6%. 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.
How NN8 2 trades
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. Against the NN8 district median, NN8 2 sits 10% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in NN: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the NN area, straight 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.

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