In cash terms the typical NN8 4 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. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NN8 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 2004 (+44.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−8.9%). 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) | +5.5% | +3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.4% | +1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 45 sales completed in NN8 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 292 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 a year over the last five. 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.
The shape of the NN8 4 market
Only 45 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NN8 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
Rents around NN8 4
NN8 4 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.
£984 a month is £11,808 a year, which against the £240,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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.

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.
