In cash terms the typical NN8 5 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £271,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 140%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 17% 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 NN8 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 (+28.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−7.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NN8 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.7% | −9.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 26 sales completed in NN8 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 207 sales a year before the financial crisis and 77 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Rents around NN8 5
NN8 5 falls under North Northamptonshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £984 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £677 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,518, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, North Northamptonshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £271,500 median purchase price, a rent of £984 a month (£11,808 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.
What kind of market NN8 5 is
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NN8 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the NN8 district median, NN8 5 sits 16% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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. 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.
