How Careys Road, Towcester prices moved
The chart tracks the median Careys Road, Towcester house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2011. 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 | 1 | £87,500 | £194,291 |
| 2000s | 2 | £168,000 | £306,047 |
| 2010s | 1 | £278,000 | £391,980 |
The highest yearly median on record for Careys Road, Towcester is £278,000 in 2011; the lowest is £87,500 in 1997. Across the full 15-year record the cash median has moved from £87,500 to £278,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £185,526, so the real change over the whole record is +129.7% — about +6.12% 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: +217.7% in cash against +129.7% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Careys Road, Towcester 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 | 28 | 40.6% | £330,000 | £80,000 – £850,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Careys Road, Towcester
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 69 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 | 69 | 100.0% | £225,000 |
A further 1 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 Buckinghamshire, 47.8% of 262,827 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.4% 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 Buckinghamshire at £1,476 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,035 for a one-bedroom home and £1,603 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £225,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.87% 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 NN12, 47 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 18 violent, 0 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 11 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 3.6 times quieter.
Against the 553,078 residents the 2021 census counted in Buckinghamshire, that is 0.08 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 Careys Road, Towcester
The 2021 census counted 553,078 residents in Buckinghamshire across 220,327 households. 71.3% of those households own their home and 28.7% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

How Careys Road, Towcester compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Careys Road, Towcester sits above that national figure — +42.9%.
Within Towcester the street ranks 248 of 418 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £229,950 (-2.2%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,238 per square metre, across 3 of the 69 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Careys Road, Towcester sits in Buckinghamshire, in the East Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Buckinghamshire at 11.3 times median local earnings of £40,365 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.

£2,238 per square metre, from the 3 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 24 Oct 2025. 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.
