The private rented sector in Northampton has undergone some
noticeable shifts over the last ten years, with different areas experiencing
varying levels of growth, stability, and decline.
🔵 Growth Areas –
The blue-shaded sections on the map indicate an increase in private rented
households. A rise in supply of rental properties, potentially driven by
affordability, lifestyle changes, or an influx of tenants looking for
flexibility.
⚪ Stable Areas –
The cream-coloured zones represent little to no change in rental levels. Here,
the balance between landlords, tenants, and owner-occupiers has remained steady
over the decade.
🟠 Declining Areas –
The peach-coloured regions highlight a drop in private rented households. This
could be due to landlords selling up, shifting market conditions, or an
increase in owner-occupation.
Understanding these patterns is key for Northampton
landlords, investors, and agents. The rental market is always evolving, shaped
by policy changes, economic shifts, and tenant preferences. Whether you're
