How Newcomen Road, Wellingborough prices moved
The chart tracks the median Newcomen Road, Wellingborough house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2015. 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 | £21,600 | £47,962 |
| 2000s | 9 | £87,500 | £159,399 |
| 2010s | 1 | £122,500 | £172,725 |
The highest yearly median on record for Newcomen Road, Wellingborough is £122,500 in 2015; the lowest is £20,000 in 1995. Across the full 21-year record the cash median has moved from £20,000 to £122,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £44,409, so the real change over the whole record is +288.9% — about +7.03% 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: +28.9% in cash against -0.2% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Newcomen Road, Wellingborough 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 | 161 | 92.0% | £77,750 | £11,500 – £408,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Newcomen Road, Wellingborough
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 175 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 | 175 | 100.0% | £76,000 |
A further 19 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 North Northamptonshire, 51.7% of 169,866 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.3% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in North Northamptonshire at £985 a month as of Jun 2026 — £679 for a one-bedroom home and £1,060 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £76,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 15.55% 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 NN8, 452 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 156 violent, 9 burglary, 32 vehicle-related and 123 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.7 times busier.
Against the 359,525 residents the 2021 census counted in North Northamptonshire, that is 1.26 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.

Newcomen Road, Wellingborough sits in North Northamptonshire, in the East Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in North Northamptonshire at 7.3 times median local earnings of £35,745 a year, measured to Sep 2025.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Newcomen Road, Wellingborough?

When were Newcomen Road, Wellingborough house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £122,500, set in 2015. 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 Newcomen Road, Wellingborough?
£1,020 per square metre, from the 51 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.
