Wilby market report NN8 6, Wellingborough
The standing NN8 6 (Wilby) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 768 registered sales in NN8 6 (Wellingborough) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 21 registered 2026 sales put the NN8 6 (Wellingborough) median at £290,000, up 4% on five years earlier, with a mean of £301,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,030 per square metre over the last five years.

NN8 6 is one sector of NN8 (Wellingborough): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

What a square metre costs in NN8 6
Measured by floor area, the last five years of NN8 6 sales average about £3,030 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts NN8 6 2% above the country at large.

| 1996 | £36,000 | £75,922 | 1 |
| 1995 | £54,000 | £117,388 | 1 |
In cash terms the typical NN8 6 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 147%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2009. 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 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 1998 (+103.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−33.3%). 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 years (since 2025) | −12.8% | −14.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 12 years (since 2014) | +3.8% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.6% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
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 21 NN8 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 140 sales a year over the last five years against 1 before the financial crisis. 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 6
For renting purposes NN8 6 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 £290,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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.
The shape of the NN8 6 market
This is a thin market: 21 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the NN8 district median, NN8 6 sits 23% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: NN prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NN area, 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £220,250 | £250,000 (+14%) | £287,810 (+15%) | £360,000 (+25%) | £525,000 (+46%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
