In cash terms the typical NN9 5 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 159%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NN9 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 2003 (+25.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.1% | −7.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Sales activity in NN9 5
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 105 NN9 5 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 452 sales a year before the financial crisis and 204 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.
Reading the NN9 5 market

What tenants pay around NN9 5
NN9 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.
Set against the £225,000 median sold price, £984 a month is £11,808 a year, a gross yield of 5.2%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What another bedroom costs in NN
Real sold prices by size across the NN area, straight 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.
