Prices in Daventry have shown modest growth, a year-on-year change of +0.2%. Within Northamptonshire, Daventry ranks 2nd by price out of 7 principal towns, and 5th by transaction volume.

West Northamptonshire, the local planning authority covering Daventry, approved 53 residential planning applications and refused 20 in Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September 2026), with 148 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 73%. A further 3 residential decisions in the period have no recorded outcome in the source data and are not counted above. Planning figures come from local planning authority records compiled by Landstack, retrieved on 3 October 2026. Councils and Landstack can take several days to publish decisions, so decisions made in the final days of Q3 2026 may not all be included yet.

Schemes approved in Q3 2026, together with those still awaiting a decision, propose around 4,492 homes, an estimated £1.2bn of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

West Northamptonshire covers more than one town in Northamptonshire, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Daventry alone.
