N12 9 is one sector of N12 (London): 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.

In cash terms the typical N12 9 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £465,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 185%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 40% 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 N12 9 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 2025 (+32.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−16.2%). 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 years (since 2025) | −16.2% | −18.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −5.3% | −9.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.2% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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 N12 9
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.
The register shows 19 N12 9 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 146 sales a year before the financial crisis and 66 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.
How N12 9 trades
Only 19 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes N12 9 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. Against the N12 district median, N12 9 sits 15% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Rents around N12 9
The local authority for N12 9 is Barnet, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,934 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,487 a month here against £3,174 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Barnet
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £465,000 median sold price, £1,934 a month is £23,208 a year, a gross yield of 5.0%: 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.

These cover the whole N12 district, not just N12 9: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 16% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
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 N
Real sold prices by size across the N area, straight 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.
