Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: the typical home in N8 9 (London) sold for £600,000 in 2026, the median of 42 registered sales, down 1% on five years earlier. The mean was £705,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £8,890 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 5,879 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.
N8 9 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.

Today's N8 9 prices, from the sold record
In the N8 9 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £600,000, from 42 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £705,900, sitting a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
Price per square metre in N8 9
The last five years of sales put N8 9 at roughly £8,890 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving N8 9 111% above the national figure.

Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical N8 9 home went from £85,000 in 1995 to £600,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 225%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 32% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the N8 9 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 1998 (+37.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−20.4%). 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) | −14.3% | −16.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 42 sales completed in N8 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 245 sales a year before the financial crisis and 145 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 9 market
Only 42 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes N8 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What homes rent for around N8 9
N8 9 falls under Haringey, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,212 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,633 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,181, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £600,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.

Searches that land here, answered
A lot of searches that reach this page are full postcodes, N8 9ND among them. A full postcode is a street segment of a dozen or so homes, below even sector level; the medians on this page are the context, and the live map shows every recorded sale at those exact addresses.
Search phrases quoted verbatim from Google Search Console for this site (last 16 months); each is answered from the page's own Land Registry figures.
Will N8 9 prices rise from here?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 22% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What you could buy in N8 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 95 homes currently on the market from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole N8 district, not just N8 9: live asking prices are collected per district.
25% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
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.

What another bedroom costs in N
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the N area. 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
