N19 5 sold prices: where the market stands
The 2026 median for N19 5 is £562,500, taken from 25 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £650,300, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
Price per square metre in N19 5
A square metre of N19 5 home has cost about £8,840 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

In cash terms the typical N19 5 home went from £73,000 in 1995 to £562,500 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 254%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2014; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2014 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the N19 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 1998 (+41.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−15.4%). 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) | +0.7% | −1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.2% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.4% | +1.5% |
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 5
How many homes change hands
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, 25 sales completed in N19 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 156 sales a year before the financial crisis and 78 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 5
The local authority for N19 5 is Islington, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £562,500 median purchase price, a rent of £2,828 a month (£33,936 a year) works out at a 6.0% 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.
How N19 5 trades
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes N19 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 3% over five years in cash but down 19% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What you could buy in N19 now
Turning to what is actually available: 55 homes on the market right now, from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole N19 district, not just N19 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
30% 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" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

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.
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 | — | — | £950,000 | £1,445,000 (+52%) | £2,200,000 (+52%) |
| Semi-detached | £430,000 | £535,000 (+24%) | £755,000 (+41%) | £990,000 (+31%) | £1,375,000 (+39%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
The risers and the fallers
The spread across the N area is the point: the same five years treated these districts very differently.
