What a home in N sells for
Across 2,778 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) N home went for £563,200. The mean is £722,500, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
N prices by floor area
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in N costs about £7,980 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so N trades 98% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical N home went from £74,000 in 1995 to £563,200 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 250%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the N 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 (+24.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−4.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −4.1% | −6.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | 0.0% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 58% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £1,288,800 against £489,500 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

How many homes change hands in N
The year-by-year sales count
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.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 5,320 N sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 14,249 sales a year before the financial crisis and 6,753 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
How N trades
Flats dominate what actually sells, at 61% of last year's transactions, and the headline median follows them. House buyers should lean on the type split above rather than the overall figure.
What tenants pay around N
The local authority for N is Haringey, the local authority covering most of the N area (parts fall under Barnet and Enfield, where rents differ), and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,212 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,633 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,181, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Haringey
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £563,200 median sold price, £2,212 a month is £26,544 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What happens to N prices now?
No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 21% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
What you could buy in N now
Everything above is what homes in N sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 1,041 homes on the market right now, from 12 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 7% above the N median sold price.
Set against 5,320 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 1,041 homes on the market here are roughly 2 months of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted.
20% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

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.
Month by month: when N sells
March is when N changes hands most (12.0% of the 41,141 sales dated 2021 to 2025); April is the quiet end at 6.3%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 2,746 | 6.7% |
| February | 3,198 | 7.8% |

Moving up a bedroom in N: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the N area, from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | — | £744,500 | £1,022,750 (+37%) | £1,383,750 (+35%) |
| Semi-detached | £480,000 | £551,000 (+15%) | £767,000 (+39%) | £950,457 (+24%) | £1,200,000 (+26%) |
| Terraced | £473,500 | £535,000 (+13%) | £690,000 (+29%) | £950,000 (+38%) | £1,460,000 (+54%) |
| Flat | £388,000 | £495,000 (+28%) | £647,000 (+31%) | £830,000 (+28%) | £1,075,000 (+30%) |
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.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
