The Towcester property market recorded 590 residential sales in the 12 months to 30 June 2026, with a median sale price of £348,000. This places Towcester £92k above the Northamptonshire county median of £256,500, and £63k above the approximate UK median of £285,000.

Prices in Towcester have recorded a moderate decline, a year-on-year change of -4.7%. Within Northamptonshire, Towcester ranks 1st by price out of 7 principal towns, and 7th by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Towcester median prices moved from £368,237 in Q4 2024 to £325,000 in Q1 2026, a change of -11.7% over 5 quarters. Towcester has now recorded 2 consecutive quarters of price falls. The most recent quarter is excluded because HM Land Registry registrations for it are still incomplete.

West Northamptonshire, the local planning authority covering Towcester, 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 £1.5bn 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 Towcester alone.
