The EN5 4 (High Barnet) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 3,324 HM Land Registry entries for EN5 4 (Barnet), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 29 registered 2026 sales put the EN5 4 (Barnet) median at £600,000, down 12% on five years earlier, with a mean of £624,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £6,640 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,324 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
EN5 4 is one sector of EN5 (Barnet): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

| 1995 | £93,000 | £202,168 | 111 |
In cash terms the typical EN5 4 home went from £93,000 in 1995 to £600,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 197%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 30% 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 EN5 4 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 2000 (+39.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−17.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What EN5 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.1% | −11.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.5% | −7.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.2% | −3.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 29 sales completed in EN5 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 71 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 rental side of EN5 4
EN5 4 falls under Barnet, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,934 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,487 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,174, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Barnet
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £600,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,934 a month (£23,208 a year) works out at a 3.9% 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.
Reading the EN5 4 market
This is a thin market: 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the EN5 district median, EN5 4 sits 9% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

EN5's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 224 homes on the market right now, from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole EN5 district, not just EN5 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
13% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in EN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the EN area. 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.
