HOUSE SALES IN NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE, 1996-20<strong>11</strong> 68<br />
Historically, between April 1996 and March 20<strong>11</strong>, Kettering Borough has had the most house sales of all <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>North</strong>amptonshire authorities, with 34,233 sales. East <strong>North</strong>amptonshire has seen a similar volume of house sales<br />
(32,194), followed by Wellingborough (24,613) and then Corby (16,989).<br />
Focussing on the current plan period (April 2001 – March 20<strong>11</strong>), this pattern remains and it is over this period that<br />
most of the local house sales have occurred. One noticeable trend over this period is the volume increase in house<br />
sales in Corby Borough, where 73% of all recorded sales, 1996-20<strong>11</strong>, has occurred. This is a considerable<br />
difference compared to the other local authorities and would seem to correspond with the focus the former<br />
government placed on the Borough in respect of the creation of Regeneration Framework and long-term plan for<br />
growth.<br />
What is apparent from the above graph is that house sales have dropped significantly from April 2007, a pattern<br />
which broadly coincides with the economic depression which has been prevalent since this time.<br />
