Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire is a county in the East Midlands with an approximate population of 629,000. Northampton, from which the county takes its name, is the county town of Northamptonshire.

Northamptonshire House Prices

Following a period of severe and widespread market stagnation and house price depreciation that took hold as a consequence of the onset of the financial crisis and the subsequent housing market crash back in 2007, average house prices in Northamptonshire have begun to rebound over the past eighteen months or so.

Average annual house price inflation in the county currently stands at around 5% and the average time houses in Northamptonshire spend on the market has decreased by a little under 16% over the past twelve months.

While these improvements in the market are extremely encouraging, it should be remembered that the bottom really fell out of the market back in 2007 and then, just two years ago, house prices in many areas of the county were rocked even further by the announcement that the upcoming HS2 rail link would pass directly through certain regions in Northamptonshire. In 2012 there were a number of properties that were on the market for half of what they had been valued at back in 2007.

Another fact that should be borne in mind is that average house prices relating to an area the size of the entire county of Northamptonshire can obviously only tell you so much. There are many variations across the region, which is better viewed as a collection of separate local housing markets rather than one large market.

If you want to obtain a highly individualised and incredibly accurate valuation of your property that reflects the true value of your home, contact National Homebuyers. We offer fast, accurate, fully comprehensive, no obligation property valuations that take into account every variable affecting your home’s value.

Northamptonshire Tradition & History

The area that later became part of the territory of the Catuvellauni tribe in around the 1^st century BCE, and led fell under the control of the Emperors following the Roman conquest in 43 CE. Lactodorum, an important Roman settlement, stood at the site of modern day Towcester and a Roman road, Watling Street, ran through the county. There were other important settlements at Northampton and Kettering, among others.

The area fell under the dominion of the Kingdom of Mercia following the Roman withdrawal and the subsequent Anglo-Saxon invasions and, in 889, it was conquered by the Danes. Thanks to Edward the Elder, the area was later reclaimed and became part of Wessex. Control of the area oscillated between the Anglo-Saxons and the Danes over the ensuing decades.

The county was first mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in 1017, when it was referred to as Hamtunscire – ‘the shire of the hamlet’. The ‘North’ was added later to distinguish the area from the other hamtun in the south, which eventually developed into Southampton.

Rockingham Castle was built by the Normans following their conquest of England and Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned at the now ruined Fotheringhay Castle before her cousin, Elizabeth I, ordered her execution.

The Battle of Northampton took place during the Wars of the Roses and the Yorkist forces defeated an army under Henry VI, and even took the ill fated monarch captive. The county proved equally unwelcoming for a later king, Charles I, when he was imprisoned at Holdenby House toward the end of the English Civil War.
