What NW4 homes really sell for
In the NW4 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £562,600, from 66 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £686,700, sitting well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
NW4 prices by floor area
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in NW4 costs about £6,190 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

In cash terms the typical NW4 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £562,600 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 224%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 24% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NW4 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 2022 (+26.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−9.7%). 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) | +4.7% | +2.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 55% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £1,155,000 against £368,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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 last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
NW4 recorded 158 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 586 sales a year before the financial crisis and 192 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 homes rent for around NW4
The local authority for NW4 is Barnet, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,934 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,487 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,174 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Barnet
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £562,600 median purchase price, a rent of £1,934 a month (£23,208 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.

What another bedroom costs in NW
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NW area, from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | — | £992,500 | £1,400,000 (+41%) | £2,225,000 (+59%) |
| Semi-detached | — | £568,000 | £680,000 (+20%) | £969,000 (+43%) | £1,525,000 (+57%) |

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