How Meadow Rise, Towcester prices moved
The chart tracks the median Meadow Rise, Towcester house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2009. 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 | 2 | £47,500 | £105,472 |
| 2000s | 1 | £144,000 | £262,326 |
The highest yearly median on record for Meadow Rise, Towcester is £144,000 in 2009; the lowest is £47,500 in 1996. Across the full 14-year record the cash median has moved from £47,500 to £144,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £103,038, so the real change over the whole record is +129.7% — about +6.60% 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: +173.0% in cash against +111.6% 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.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Meadow Rise, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 68 | 100.0% | £144,000 | £37,500 – £310,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Meadow Rise, Towcester
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 67 freehold — 1.5% 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 £62,500 and the median freehold sale £145,000 — a gap of +132.0%. 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 | 1 | 1.5% | £62,500 |
| Freehold | 67 | 98.5% | £145,000 |

Living in Meadow Rise, Towcester
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 |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1,146 | 0.4% |
| B | 36,297 | 13.8% |
| C | 88,289 | 33.6% |

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 £144,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 12.26% 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 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.
16 state and independent schools have a NN12 postcode: 14 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Within Towcester the street ranks 363 of 418 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £229,950 (-37.2%).

Meadow Rise, 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Meadow Rise, Towcester?
The median price paid in Meadow Rise, Towcester across every sale on the register is £144,500. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Meadow Rise, Towcester?
68 sales are on record for Meadow Rise, Towcester, the most recent completing on 26 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +173.0% between 1997 and 2009. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +111.6%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Meadow Rise, Towcester house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £144,000, set in 2009. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Meadow Rise, Towcester?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 26 May 2026. 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.
