Hornsey market report N8 7, London
The standing N8 7 (Hornsey) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 5,190 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in N8 7 (London) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for N8 7 (London) is £452,500, from 56 registered sales, down 14% on five years earlier; the mean is £552,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £7,810 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 5,190 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
N8 7 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside N8 (London). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What a square metre costs in N8 7

In cash terms the typical N8 7 home went from £70,500 in 1995 to £452,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 195%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 36% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the N8 7 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 (+27.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−13.8%). 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) | −13.8% | −15.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.9% | −7.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.1% | −4.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
How many homes change hands in N8 7
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 56 N8 7 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 215 sales a year before the financial crisis and 115 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.
The shape of the N8 7 market
Only 56 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes N8 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within N8, this sector trades 19% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around N8 7
The local authority for N8 7 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.
Set against the £452,500 median sold price, £2,212 a month is £26,544 a year, a gross yield of 5.9%: 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.

N8's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 95 homes on the market right now, from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole N8 district, not just N8 7: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 25% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

Bedroom by bedroom: N prices by size
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.
| 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%) |

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.
The risers and the fallers

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
