The Northampton housing market is a fascinating beast and has been particularly interesting since the Credit Crunch of 2008/9 with the subsequent property market crash. There is currently some talk of a ‘property bubble’ nationally as Brexit seems to be the ‘go-to’ excuse for every issue in the Country. Upon saying that, looking at both…
Another good investment to end the week with… It’s a three bedroom semi-detached property, which are in great demand for family tenants at the moment. Marketed with Horts in Northampton they described as follows: A modern three bedroom semi detached property situated in the popular area of Little billing.

The Northampton housing market has gone through a sea change in the past decades with the Buy-to-Let (B-T-L) sector evolving as a key trend, for both Northampton tenants and Northampton landlords.

The semi-detached house with its bay windows and net curtains has long been ridiculed as an emblem of safe, lacklustre and desperately uncool suburban life; the homes of the likes of Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping up Appearances and more latterly Alan Partridge – but they could have the last laugh – having enjoyed the highest…
“How’s the Northampton housing market doing?” asked an upbeat Northampton landlord last week. “Quite strange” I replied. Our landlord was perplexed! Let me explain… Even the Brexit vote has not hindered Northampton’s steady rise in property value, as Northampton property values went up 1.94% last month alone, leaving Northampton values 12.09% higher than…
The Northampton Property Market continues to disregard the end of the world prophecies of a post Brexit fallout with a return to business as usual after the summer break.
