Hadley Wood market report EN4, Barnet
The standing EN4 (Hadley Wood) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 13,092 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in EN4 (Barnet) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for EN4 (Barnet) is £600,000, from 117 registered sales, down 6% on five years earlier; the mean is £695,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £6,760 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 13,092 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
EN4 is the postcode district covering Hadley Wood, Cockfosters, East Barnet in Barnet. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

The going rate for a home in EN4
The EN4 median stands at £600,000 for 2026, built from 117 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £695,200, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
EN4 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of EN4 sales average about £6,760 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts EN4 111% above the country at large.

Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical EN4 home went from £86,500 in 1995 to £600,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 219%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 25% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the EN4 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2001 (+32.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £1,190,000 against £369,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.8% | −10.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.2% | −5.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
EN4 recorded 247 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 560 sales a year before the financial crisis and 267 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the EN4 market
EN4 is currently the dearest district of its postcode area by median price.
What homes rent for around EN4
For renting purposes EN4 sits in Barnet. The ONS average private rent there is £1,934 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,487 a month here against £3,174 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Barnet
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,934 a month is £23,208 a year, which against the £600,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Moving up a bedroom in EN: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the EN area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £525,000 | £690,000 (+31%) | £975,000 (+41%) | £1,359,000 (+39%) |
| Semi-detached | £402,625 | £470,000 (+17%) | £555,000 (+18%) | £720,000 (+30%) | £971,000 (+35%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
