Upper Holloway market report N19, London
The standing N19 (Upper Holloway) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 11,617 registered sales in N19 (London) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 65 registered 2026 sales put the N19 (London) median at £602,500, up 8% on five years earlier, with a mean of £721,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £8,690 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 11,617 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
N19 is the postcode district covering Upper Holloway, Archway in London. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

Price per square metre in N19

In cash terms the typical N19 home went from £81,800 in 1995 to £602,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 239%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the N19 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 (+28.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−7.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 71% of the typed total. In 1997, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £330,000 against £81,500 for a flat, 4.0 times the price.

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.
Sales activity in N19
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 197 sales completed in N19. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 490 sales a year before the financial crisis and 242 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.
What tenants pay around N19
For renting purposes N19 sits in Islington. The ONS average private rent there is £2,828 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £2,144 a month for a typical one-bed to £4,176 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 8% over five years in cash but down 15% 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.
N19's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in N19 sold for. The live side of the market holds 55 homes at the moment, listed by 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 24% above the N19 median sold price.
Of everything listed here, 30% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in N
What homes of each size actually sold for across the N area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | — | £950,000 | £1,445,000 (+52%) | £2,200,000 (+52%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
