Rent & Yield Trends
Rental costs in the N postcode area are high, at around £2,250 per month—well above the national average. Rent growth has been modest at 3.4% annually over the past decade, below the national trend. Yields have improved, however: the current flat yield of 4.4% compares favourably to the 10-year average of 3.5%, reflecting a tightening of the price-to-rent ratio.

Household incomes in N6 are among the highest in the country, averaging nearly £60,000 annually. Purchase affordability has improved markedly: the price-to-income ratio has fallen from 31.8x in 2016 to 23.4x today, a substantial gain despite high absolute prices. Rental affordability has also improved, with the rent-to-income ratio declining from 51.2% to 42.8% over the same period.
