Upper Holloway market report N19 3, London
The standing N19 3 (Upper Holloway) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 4,463 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in N19 3 (London) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 25 registered 2026 sales put the N19 3 (London) median at £602,500, up 9% on five years earlier, with a mean of £774,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £8,370 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,463 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
N19 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside N19 (London). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical N19 3 home went from £82,500 in 1995 to £602,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 236%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the N19 3 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 2014 (+23.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.0%). 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) | +1.3% | −1.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.5% | +1.7% |
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.
How many homes change hands in N19 3
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.
The register shows 25 N19 3 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 189 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 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.
What tenants pay around N19 3
N19 3 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.
£2,828 a month is £33,936 a year, which against the £602,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.6%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
Reading the N19 3 market
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes N19 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
N19 3 (Upper Holloway): the questions that come up
Are property prices falling in N19 3 (Upper Holloway)?
Is N19 3 (Upper Holloway) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in N19 3 (Upper Holloway)?
Will N19 3 prices rise from here?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 9% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
N19's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 55 homes currently on the market from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole N19 district, not just N19 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
30% 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.
What another bedroom costs in N
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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.

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.
