N8 8 is one sector of N8 (London): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

| 1996 | £110,000 | £231,985 | 208 |
| 1995 | £102,500 | £222,819 | 166 |
In cash terms the typical N8 8 home went from £102,500 in 1995 to £650,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 192%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 46% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the N8 8 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 (+34.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−26.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −22.1% | −23.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.4% | −7.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.0% | −4.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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, 33 sales completed in N8 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 189 sales a year before the financial crisis and 87 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.
What kind of market N8 8 is
This is a thin market: 33 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within N8, this sector trades 16% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around N8 8
The local authority for N8 8 is Haringey, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,212 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,633 a month here against £3,181 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Haringey
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £650,000 median sold price, £2,212 a month is £26,544 a year, a gross yield of 4.1%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in N: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the N area. 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
