In cash terms the typical N6 home went from £116,500 in 1995 to £685,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 170%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 41% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the N6 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 2014 (+30.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−11.2%). 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) | −10.5% | −12.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.5% | −8.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.6% | −3.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 68% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £3,225,000 against £625,000 for a flat, 5.2 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 173 sales completed in N6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 476 sales a year before the financial crisis and 223 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Reading the N6 market
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. Among the 23 measurable districts of its area, N6 ranks 3 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
What homes rent for around N6
The local authority for N6 is Haringey, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,212 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,633 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,181 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Haringey
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£2,212 a month is £26,544 a year, which against the £685,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the N area, 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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
