In cash terms the typical NN8 home went from £38,500 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 181%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 25% 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 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 (+19.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−12.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NN8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −12.9% | −14.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £327,000 against £130,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
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 last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 598 NN8 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 1,293 sales a year before the financial crisis and 794 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.
How NN8 trades
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.
What tenants pay around NN8
For renting purposes NN8 sits in North Northamptonshire. The ONS average private rent there is £984 a month (May 2026). 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.

Moving up a bedroom in NN: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NN area. 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.

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

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.
