N8 is a postcode district covering Hornsey, Crouch End in London. It is the most useful size for market figures: tight enough to describe somewhere real, large enough that sales keep coming and the medians hold steady.

N8 sold prices: where the market stands
Across 162 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) N8 home went for £560,000. The mean is £664,300, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
House prices per square metre in N8
The last five years of sales put N8 at roughly £8,330 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.

In cash terms the typical N8 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £560,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 222%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 34% 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 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 2007 (+24.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−16.7%). 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, 66% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £1,620,000 against £528,200 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.4% | −9.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.2% | −3.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.3% |
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 N8
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 374 sales completed in N8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 825 sales a year before the financial crisis and 488 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.
What homes rent for around N8
N8 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.
Set against the £560,000 median sold price, £2,212 a month is £26,544 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in N
What homes of each size actually sold for across the N area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
