Holloway market report N7, London
The standing N7 (Holloway) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 16,416 sales registered with HM Land Registry in N7 (London) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the typical home in N7 (London) sold for £525,000 in 2026, the median of 117 registered sales, down 6% on five years earlier. The mean was £632,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £8,590 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 16,416 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.
N7 is the postcode district covering Holloway in London. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

What a home in N7 sells for
Across 117 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) N7 home went for £525,000. The mean is £632,600, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
N7 prices by floor area
Per square metre, N7 homes have averaged around £8,590 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts N7 84% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical N7 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £525,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 222%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the N7 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 1999 (+27.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−12.5%). 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, 85% of the typed total. In 2002, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £400,000 against £185,000 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

What N7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −12.5% | −14.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.3% | −5.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.4% | −2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
How many homes change hands in N7
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 250 N7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 681 sales a year before the financial crisis and 333 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.
How N7 trades
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, N7 ranks 19 by median price: towards the affordable end.
Rents around N7
N7 falls under Islington, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,828 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £2,144 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £4,176, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Islington
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £525,000 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.

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%) |
| Terraced | £472,750 | £513,250 (+9%) | £670,500 (+31%) | £1,005,750 (+50%) | £1,607,500 (+60%) |
| Flat | £405,000 | £542,500 (+34%) | £785,567 (+45%) | £1,211,250 (+54%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
