Property Price & Volume Trends
Properties in N7 are among the most expensive nationally, with an average price of £715,000. However, price growth over the past decade has been sluggish by national standards, with annualised growth of just 2.4%. Transaction activity has softened recently, with 312 sales in the latest full year compared to a 10-year average of 391 annually.
Rent & Yield Trends
Rents are among the highest in the country at £2,250 per month, though rental growth of 3.4% annually over the past decade has lagged the national pace. Yields have improved meaningfully, currently standing at 4.4% against a 10-year average of 3.5%, reflecting the tightening relationship between rents and capital values.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income is well above the national median at £51,000, placing the area among the most affluent. Purchase affordability has improved markedly since 2016: the price-to-income ratio has fallen from 15.8x to 12.7x, a substantial gain. Rental affordability has also strengthened considerably, with the rent-to-income ratio improving from 51.2% to 42.8%.
Resident Demographic Profile
N7 has a distinctly younger profile than the national average, with 27.8% of residents aged 25–34 compared to 13.4% nationally. The area is heavily rented, with 33.2% in private housing and 39.5% in social rented accommodation—far above national norms—while outright ownership is minimal at 9.6%. Professional employment dominates at 33.9%, nearly 60% above the national average, and technical roles are also overrepresented at 20.4%. Conversely, trades and machine-operation roles are scarce.
