In cash terms the typical EN5 5 home went from £83,000 in 1995 to £420,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 133%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 46% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the EN5 5 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 2020 (+47.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−20.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What EN5 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −20.0% | −21.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.4% | −7.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.1% | −3.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in EN5 5
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 38 sales completed in EN5 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 218 sales a year before the financial crisis and 104 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 5 is
Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes EN5 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within EN5, this sector trades 24% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around EN5 5
EN5 5 falls under Barnet, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,934 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £420,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,934 a month (£23,208 a year) works out at a 5.5% 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.
Common questions on EN5 5 (High Barnet)
Is EN5 5 (High Barnet) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in EN5 5 (High Barnet)?
Are property prices falling in EN5 5 (High Barnet)?
Are EN5 5 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 16% over five years in cash but down 34% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What you could buy in EN5 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 224 homes currently on the market from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole EN5 district, not just EN5 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
13% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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.
The price of an extra bedroom in EN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the EN area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £361,750 | £424,000 (+17%) | £480,000 (+13%) | £610,000 (+27%) | £830,000 (+36%) |
| Flat | £250,000 | £335,000 (+34%) | £469,000 (+40%) | — | — |
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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
