In cash terms the typical N20 9 home went from £105,000 in 1995 to £515,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 126%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 58% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the N20 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 2024 (+41.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−36.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What N20 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −26.4% | −28.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −6.0% | −10.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −5.1% | −8.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
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 N20 9
How many homes change hands
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.
The register shows 25 N20 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 76 sales a year recently, against 79 a year before 2008. 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.
What kind of market N20 9 is
This is a thin market: 25 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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 16% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of N20 9
The local authority for N20 9 is Barnet, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,934 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,487 a month here against £3,174 for four or more bedrooms.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £515,000 median sold price, £1,934 a month is £23,208 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in N: the cost
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.
