In cash terms the typical N4 3 home went from £66,000 in 1995 to £522,500 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 264%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 31% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the N4 3 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 2013 (+42.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−20.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What N4 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.7% | −8.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.7% | −7.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.2% | −3.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +0.9% |
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.
How many homes change hands in N4 3
How many homes change hands
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, 56 sales completed in N4 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 186 sales a year before the financial crisis and 123 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the N4 3 market
This is a thin market: 56 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. Against the N4 district median, N4 3 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around N4 3
For renting purposes N4 3 sits in Islington. The ONS average private rent there is £2,828 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £2,144 a month here against £4,176 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Islington
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £522,500 median purchase price, a rent of £2,828 a month (£33,936 a year) works out at a 6.5% 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.

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.
Moving up a bedroom in N: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the N area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |

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.
