About Northampton

Prices, rents, yields. Growth & much more for the city of Northampton

Northampton is a civil parish and market town enriched with history. It is one of the largest towns in the UK, with three unaccepted applications to become a city since 2000.

Northampton is located along the River Nene in the East Midlands, England, 68 miles north of London, with trains only taking an hour to the capital. In 2021, Northampton had a population of over 745,000.

There is historical evidence of Northampton existing throughout the Anglo-Saxon, Roman and Bronze Age periods.

Northampton used to have a castle where Thomas Becket was trialled during the middle ages, but the local council demolished the court for a railway line.

The growth of Northampton is attributed to the 19th-century industrial revolution, which brought footwear and leather manufacturing to the town via the Grand Union Canal & Railway.

You should ensure that you go through each room in your home and make sure that the property is clean and tidy so that any potential buyers can imagine themselves in the house.

Another way to brighten up your home is to give it a paint and update, by applying a fresh coat of paint to the walls in neutral, appealing colours.

General Repairs

By taking care of general repairs like replacing tired carpets, removing any mould and limescale from bathrooms and windows, fixing faulty faucets and cracked tiles, you may be able to retain any potential buyers that are put off by the need for immediate repairs.

Garden Maintenance

An element of your Northampton home that can often be overlooked but can generate a lot of interest is your garden.
