In cash terms the typical N2 9 home went from £105,500 in 1995 to £650,200 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 184%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 54% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the N2 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 2008 (+69.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−35.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What N2 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −35.0% | −36.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −9.7% | −13.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.2% | −4.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in N2 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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 20 sales completed in N2 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 125 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of N2 9
N2 9 falls under Barnet, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,934 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,487 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,174, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Barnet
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £650,200 median purchase price, a rent of £1,934 a month (£23,208 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.
Reading the N2 9 market
Only 20 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes N2 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within N2, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
N2 9 (East Finchley): the questions that come up
How much did a house sell for in N2 9 (East Finchley)?
Are property prices falling in N2 9 (East Finchley)?
Is N2 9 (East Finchley) a good place to buy a house?
Where do N2 9 prices go next?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 40% over five years in cash but down 53% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What is for sale in N2 right now
This is what you could actually buy today: 44 homes currently on the market from 12 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole N2 district, not just N2 9: live asking prices are collected per district.
25% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. 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.
Bedroom by bedroom: N prices by size
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.

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

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
