Angel market report N1, London
The standing N1 (Angel) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 36,305 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in N1 (London) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Covers registered sales to August 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: the 2026 median for N1 (London) is £650,000, from 376 registered sales, down 6% on five years earlier; the mean is £855,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £10,510 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 36,305 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
The postcode district N1 covering Angel, Canonbury, Kings Cross sits in London. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

What N1 homes really sell for
376 sales were registered in N1 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £650,000. The mean works out at £855,500, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
Price per square metre in N1
By floor space, homes in N1 have sold for about £10,510 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, N1 runs 128% above it.

| 1995 | £110,000 | £239,123 | 717 |
In cash terms the typical N1 home went from £110,000 in 1995 to £650,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 172%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 30% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the N1 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 1998 (+20.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−9.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −3.7% | −6.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.3% | −5.9% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | −1.7% | −5.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | 0.0% | −3.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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, 78% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £1,850,000 against £590,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

Sales activity in N1
Sales per year, counted
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
N1 recorded 688 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,436 sales a year before the financial crisis and 843 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 N1 trades
The stock is flat-led: flats and maisonettes were 84% of last year's sales, so the headline median tracks the flat market more than the house market. Among the 23 measurable districts of its area, N1 ranks 5 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
Rents around N1
N1 falls under Islington, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,828 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £2,144 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £4,176, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Islington
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £650,000 median purchase price, a rent of £2,828 a month (£33,936 a year) works out at a 5.2% 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 6% over five years in cash but down 26% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What is for sale in N1 right now
Everything above is what homes in N1 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 147 homes on the market right now, from 12 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 8% below the N1 median sold price.
N1 registered 688 sales in the last twelve months; the 147 homes listed now would take about 3 months to clear at that rate. The count covers agents publishing to HomesIndex, so the real stock is larger.
Of everything listed here, 29% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
- Shaftesbury Street, London, London
- Morton Road, Islington, London
- Thoresby Street, Shoreditch, N1, London
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.
Listed against sold: the N1 mix
Sellers of flats in N1 have company: 100% of current listings against 79% of recent sales. When a type is offered faster than it sells, the buyer usually holds the better hand.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 0% | 1% |
| Semi-detached | 0% | 2% |
| Terraced | 0% | 18% |
| Flats | 100% | 79% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares (21 here).
Month by month: when N1 sells
Across the 4,949 sales completed in N1 from 2021 to 2025, June was the busiest month for completions (12.4% of the total) and January the quietest (5.6%). 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 | 277 | 5.6% |
| February | 359 | 7.3% |
| March | 557 | 11.3% |

Moving up a bedroom in N: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the N 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 | — | — | £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%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
The risers and the fallers
N1 ranks 17 of 23 in the N area on five-year growth. The gap between the top and bottom of this chart is the difference between buying well and buying badly in the same city.

Before you sell in N1: what the record supports
The sold record beats any estimate as a starting point. Before a house valuation or flat valuation in N1, open the average prices map and zoom from the N1 shading down to the sold homes on your own street. Every recorded N1 sale is on this page; the same Land Registry record is what agents price from, and it is now in your hands.

Behind the answers sits the same Land Registry record as this page, with N1 already set as the subject. Free, one click sign in.
Two maps carry on from here: every N1 sale at its exact address, and the average prices map from area shading down to single homes. The report tool answers a specific question in writing, and each sale's mortgage and rent calculator prices a real purchase.
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.
