How Preston Drive, Daventry prices moved
The chart tracks the median Preston Drive, Daventry house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2020. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 3 | £112,973 | £250,852 |
| 2000s | 5 | £177,000 | £322,442 |
| 2010s | 1 | £217,500 | £306,675 |
| 2020s | 1 | £280,000 | £286,087 |
The highest yearly median on record for Preston Drive, Daventry is £280,000 in 2020; the lowest is £107,973 in 1998. Across the full 24-year record the cash median has moved from £122,950 to £280,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £260,691, so the real change over the whole record is +39.1% — about +1.44% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +22.8% in cash against -10.7% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Preston Drive, Daventry values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Preston Drive, Daventry is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 124 | 98.4% | £177,000 | £74,995 – £455,000 |
| Semi-detached | 2 | 1.6% | £117,995 | £117,995 – £142,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Preston Drive, Daventry
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 126 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 126 | 100.0% | £176,000 |
| New build | 47 | 37.3% | £109,995 |
| Existing home | 79 | 62.7% | £225,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -51.1%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 2 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Rugby, 51.3% of 54,062 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Rugby at £1,042 a month as of Jun 2026 — £750 for a one-bedroom home and £1,115 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £176,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.10% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of NN11, 44 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 16 violent, 1 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 12 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 3.8 times quieter.
Against the 114,363 residents the 2021 census counted in Rugby, that is 0.38 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

The neighbourhood around Preston Drive, Daventry
The 2021 census counted 114,363 residents in Rugby across 47,015 households. 68.9% of those households own their home and 30.9% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

How Preston Drive, Daventry compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Preston Drive, Daventry sits above that national figure — +11.7%.
Within Daventry the street ranks 282 of 624 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £149,500 (+17.7%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,227 per square metre, across 34 of the 126 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £74,995 to £455,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Preston Drive, Daventry sits in Rugby, in the East Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Rugby at 6.9 times median local earnings of £42,966 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Preston Drive, Daventry?

When were Preston Drive, Daventry house prices at their highest?

What is the price per square metre in Preston Drive, Daventry?
£1,227 per square metre, from the 34 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.

The latest sale shown here completed on 25 Oct 2024. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
