In cash terms the typical EN5 2 home went from £83,000 in 1995 to £577,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 220%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 27% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the EN5 2 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 1999 (+26.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2022 (−20.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What EN5 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.7% | −10.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.6% | −6.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.2% | −3.1% |
| 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.
Sales activity in EN5 2
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 35 sales completed in EN5 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 207 sales a year before the financial crisis and 113 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market EN5 2 is
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes EN5 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
What homes rent for around EN5 2
For renting purposes EN5 2 sits in Barnet. The ONS average private rent there is £1,934 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,487 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,174 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Barnet
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £577,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,934 a month (£23,208 a year) works out at a 4.0% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

The price of an extra bedroom in EN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the EN area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
