About Wellingborough
Wellingborough has been ranked in the top ten places with the strongest house price growth, according to data from Halifax, with a 15.5% increase in 2022 and it has been predicted that there will be further growth in the coming years.
House price rises were partly boosted by London residents selling up in the capital to upsize to bigger properties and be able to swiftly commute to the capital in under 50 minutes to St Pancreas Station and excellent commuter connections to main motorway routes around the country.
Residents especially enjoy the area’s countryside, country parks and the newly built shopping and leisure complex at Rushden Lakes.
