East Finchley market report N2 0, London
The N2 0 (East Finchley) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Everything below comes from 4,576 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in N2 0 (London) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for N2 0 (London) is £949,000, from 34 registered sales, up 37% on five years earlier; the mean is £2,364,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £8,990 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 4,576 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
N2 0 is one sector of N2 (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.

The going rate for a home in N2 0
In the N2 0 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £949,000, from 34 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £2,364,600, sitting well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
What a square metre costs in N2 0
Per square metre, N2 0 homes have averaged around £8,990 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, N2 0 runs 233% above it.
The price of a typical N2 0 home, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

| 1996 | £93,000 | £196,133 | 223 |
| 1995 | £119,800 | £260,427 | 156 |
In cash terms the typical N2 0 home went from £119,800 in 1995 to £949,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 264%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 37% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the N2 0 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 2017 (+51.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−34.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.6% | +2.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.5% | +1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +6.3% | +3.4% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in N2 0
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 34 sales completed in N2 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 191 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 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.
The rental side of N2 0
The local authority for N2 0 is Barnet, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,934 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,487 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,174 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Barnet
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £949,000 median sold price, £1,934 a month is £23,208 a year, a gross yield of 2.4%: 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.
How N2 0 trades
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes N2 0 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 N2 district median, N2 0 sits 33% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: N prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the N area, 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.
