The average Haringey home reached £638,690 in July, up 1% as annual growth more than halved. Flats fell 0.4%, and Camden dropped 10.1% next door.
The average home in Haringey was worth £638,690 in July. That is £6,572 more than a year earlier, a rise of 1.0%.
A month earlier the borough was growing at 2.6%. The rate has more than halved in one release.
The figures come from the UK House Price Index, which HM Land Registry published on 16 September and last updated on 18 September. It counts sales that have actually completed and been registered, which is why it runs about two months behind the market. It is also a mean average, not a median, so a handful of very large sales pull it upwards.
Flats are the category that fell
Haringey is a borough of flats and terraces, and the two moved in opposite directions over the year:
- Detached: £2,460,369, up 5.8%
- Semi-detached: £1,235,802, up 3.7%
- Terraced: £803,381, up 2.8%
- All types: £638,690, up 1.0%
- First-time buyers: £539,552, up 0.7%
- Flats and maisonettes: £473,036, down 0.4%
Flats are the only category in the borough worth less than a year ago. They are also the category most people here actually buy.
Treat the detached figure with care. Haringey has few detached houses, most of them in Highgate, and the average moved 2.4% in the single month from June to July. A category that jumps that far in four weeks is a small one.
Seventh of 33, and still the dearest riser
Twelve London boroughs rose in the year to July. Twenty-one fell. Haringey was the seventh strongest of the 33.
It is also, again, the most expensive of the boroughs that rose. The eleven others are all cheaper, most of them considerably: Barking and Dagenham led London at 5.3% on an average of £375,604, and Kingston upon Thames came second at 3.3%. Rising markets this year have been the affordable ones. Haringey is the exception to that, as it was in June.
At the other end, Westminster fell 20.7%, the City of London 17.4% and Tower Hamlets 14.4%.
The neighbours, and a gap that has halved
Haringey borders six boroughs. Two rose with it. Four fell, and two of those fell hard:
- Waltham Forest, up 2.8% to £529,102
- Haringey, up 1.0% to £638,690
- Enfield, up 0.6% to £470,988
- Hackney, down 2.6% to £605,729
- Barnet, down 4.9% to £600,560
- Islington, down 4.9% to £674,592
- Camden, down 10.1% to £815,159
London as a whole fell 3.3% to £550,037. England rose 1.1% to £293,479.
Two comparisons are worth doing properly, because they show how fast the ground has moved.
Islington used to be in a different bracket. In July 2025 the average Islington home cost £709,228 against Haringey’s £632,118, a gap of £77,110. In July 2026 it is £674,592 against £638,690, a gap of £35,902. The difference between the two boroughs has more than halved in twelve months.
Barnet has gone the other way. A year ago the two were almost identical: Barnet £631,520, Haringey £632,118, £598 apart. Haringey is now £38,130 dearer.
Haringey’s flats held up, unlike London’s
The 0.4% fall in Haringey flats looks worse than it is once you put it next to the rest of London. Flats and maisonettes over the year to July:
- Waltham Forest: up 0.7%
- Haringey: down 0.4%
- Enfield: down 1.7%
- Hackney: down 3.2%
- Islington: down 5.4%
- Barnet: down 7.0%
- London: down 6.6%
- Camden: down 10.8%
Only one borough on Haringey’s border saw flats gain value. Haringey’s fall is the second smallest of the seven, and a fraction of the London figure.
A correction to our June figures
When we reported the June index in our August story, the published average for Haringey was £634,444 and the annual change 2.5%. The Land Registry has since revised June upwards to £635,414 and 2.6%.
That is a small revision, but it is the normal behaviour of this dataset, and it matters for what follows. Every month of the index is provisional for some time afterwards, as late registrations arrive. July’s 1.0% will move too.
What it means for you
If you are selling a flat, the borough average is £473,036 and slightly below where it was a year ago. That is a much better position than in Camden or Islington, where flats are down 10.8% and 5.4%, but it is not a rising market, and pricing off last year’s asking prices on the same street is likely to leave you sitting on it.
If you are buying, the borough is no longer pulling away from the boroughs south of it the way it was. The Islington premium has halved in a year. If Haringey was your compromise on price, it is worth running the numbers on Islington and Hackney again before you commit.
If you are a first-time buyer, the relevant figure is £539,552, up 0.7% on the year. That is the mean price paid by first-time buyers across the whole borough, from Highgate to Northumberland Park, so it is a long way above what an N8 or N10 flat will actually cost you. Our Crouch End house prices page has the local detail.
If you are appealing your council tax band, this index is not evidence. Bands are set on values as at 1 April 1991, not today’s prices. Our council tax bands page explains what the bands actually cost this year.
One thing the index cannot tell you is what is happening on your street. It covers the whole borough, which runs from Highgate to Tottenham and contains some of the widest price variation in London. Treat it as the weather, not the forecast for your postcode.
