How St James Park Road, Northampton prices moved
The chart tracks the median St James Park Road, Northampton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2025. 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 | 5 | £40,250 | £89,374 |
| 2000s | 8 | £107,250 | £195,378 |
| 2010s | 6 | £136,750 | £192,818 |
| 2020s | 5 | £170,250 | £173,951 |
The highest yearly median on record for St James Park Road, Northampton is £210,000 in 2025; the lowest is £35,000 in 1995. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £35,000 to £210,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £77,717, so the real change over the whole record is +176.1% — about +3.44% 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: +53.6% in cash against +9.4% 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.

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 St James Park Road, Northampton values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. St James Park Road, Northampton 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 236 | 83.1% | £110,000 | £22,000 – £265,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 38 | 13.4% | £85,000 | £31,000 – £147,000 |
| Semi-detached | 10 | 3.5% | £58,000 | £19,000 – £305,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in St James Park Road, Northampton
36 of the sales on record are leasehold and 248 freehold — 12.7% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £85,000 and the median freehold sale £110,000 — a gap of +29.4%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 36 | 12.7% | £85,000 |
| Freehold | 248 | 87.3% | £110,000 |
| New build | 11 | 3.9% | £85,000 |
| Existing home | 273 | 96.1% | £107,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -20.6%. 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 34 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 West Northamptonshire, 49.6% of 200,029 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.9% 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 West Northamptonshire at £1,075 a month as of Jun 2026 — £746 for a one-bedroom home and £1,157 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £102,800 here, that rent is a gross yield of 12.55% 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 NN5, 304 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 75 violent, 10 burglary, 13 vehicle-related and 98 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.8 times busier.
Against the 425,725 residents the 2021 census counted in West Northamptonshire, that is 0.71 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.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around St James Park Road, Northampton
The 2021 census counted 425,725 residents in West Northamptonshire across 172,639 households. 66.4% of those households own their home and 33.5% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

Within Northampton the street ranks 2707 of 3280 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £146,001 (-29.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,219 per square metre, across 95 of the 284 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

St James Park Road, Northampton sits in West Northamptonshire, in the East Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in West Northamptonshire at 7.8 times median local earnings of £38,313 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 St James Park Road, Northampton?

How many homes have sold in St James Park Road, Northampton?

When were St James Park Road, Northampton house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £210,000, set in 2025. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

£1,219 per square metre, from the 95 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.
