In cash terms the typical N21 1 home went from £116,500 in 1995 to £517,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 104%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 40% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the N21 1 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 2021 (+33.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−25.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −25.3% | −27.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −5.3% | −9.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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, 29 sales completed in N21 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 221 sales a year before the financial crisis and 90 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.
What homes rent for around N21 1
For renting purposes N21 1 sits in Enfield. The ONS average private rent there is £1,788 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,391 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,752, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Enfield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £517,500 median sold price, £1,788 a month is £21,456 a year, a gross yield of 4.1%: 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.
Reading the N21 1 market
This is a thin market: 29 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. 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 N21, this sector trades 14% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Bedroom by bedroom: N prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the N area, straight 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
