Winchmore Hill market report N21, London
The N21 (Winchmore Hill) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 12,164 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in N21 (London) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for N21 (London) is £602,500, from 76 registered sales, down 7% on five years earlier; the mean is £687,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £6,420 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 12,164 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
The postcode district N21 covering Winchmore Hill, Grange Park sits in London. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

N21 prices by floor area
A square metre of N21 home has cost about £6,420 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so N21 trades 111% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical N21 home went from £105,000 in 1995 to £602,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 164%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 27% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the N21 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 2000 (+22.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−14.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £1,060,000 against £355,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −14.2% | −16.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.5% | −6.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
N21 recorded 198 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 506 sales a year before the financial crisis and 227 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
For renting purposes N21 sits in Enfield. The ONS average private rent there is £1,788 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,391 a month here against £2,752 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Enfield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,788 a month is £21,456 a year, which against the £602,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in N: the cost
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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | — | £950,000 | £1,445,000 (+52%) | £2,200,000 (+52%) |
| Semi-detached | £430,000 | £535,000 (+24%) | £755,000 (+41%) | £990,000 (+31%) | £1,375,000 (+39%) |

| Flat | £405,000 | £542,500 (+34%) | £785,567 (+45%) | £1,211,250 (+54%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
