Whetstone market report N20 0, London
The N20 0 (Whetstone) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,211 sales registered with HM Land Registry in N20 0 (London) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the middle 2026 sale in N20 0 (London) came in at £537,000, out of 46 registered, down 13% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £603,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £6,630 per square metre over the last five years. The record behind it is 5,211 completed sales lodged with HM Land Registry since 1995, monthly refreshed, with no valuations or asking prices anywhere in the figures.
N20 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside N20 (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.

House prices per square metre in N20 0
The last five years of sales put N20 0 at roughly £6,630 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

In cash terms the typical N20 0 home went from £77,500 in 1995 to £537,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 219%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 34% 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 N20 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 1999 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−24.2%). 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) | −10.5% | −12.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.7% | −7.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 46 N20 0 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 211 sales a year before the financial crisis and 123 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 shape of the N20 0 market
Only 46 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes N20 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. Within N20, this sector trades 13% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around N20 0
The local authority for N20 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.
£1,934 a month is £23,208 a year, which against the £537,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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.

How much did a house sell for in N20 0 (Whetstone)?
Are property prices falling in N20 0 (Whetstone)?
Is N20 0 (Whetstone) a good place to buy a house?
Are N20 0 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 13% over five years in cash but down 31% 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.
On the market in N20 today
This is what you could actually buy today: 189 homes currently on the market from 10 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole N20 district, not just N20 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
16% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

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
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the N area. 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.
