In cash terms the typical TN23 5 home went from £43,500 in 1995 to £275,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 191%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 13% 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 TN23 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 (+33.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What TN23 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.3% | +0.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 85 TN23 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 367 sales a year before the financial crisis and 162 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.
The shape of the TN23 5 market
Within TN23, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Set against the £275,000 median sold price, £1,243 a month is £14,916 a year, a gross yield of 5.4%: 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 TN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the TN 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 | — | £375,000 | £520,000 (+39%) | £789,950 (+52%) | £1,140,000 (+44%) |

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.
