A typical home in Enfield Town sells for about £486,000. Terraces change hands most often. Flats are the cheaper way in. Semis cost noticeably more. The price is about average for this part of north London, and so is the choice of homes.
The Land Registry recorded 301 sales in the year to late May 2026, at a median of about £486,000. Terraces made up the biggest group: 156 sold at a median of £500,000. The 76 flats went for about £325,000 and the 62 semis for about £608,000. Only seven detached houses sold, at a median of £750,000, which is too few for that figure to say much about the market. In Enfield Town, most buyers are choosing between interwar terraces, and the town's prices are set there.
The market has barely moved. The official house price index for the area put the average at about £469,000 in May 2026, down about 1% on a year earlier, which is small enough to be noise. Flats did worse, down about 4% over the same twelve months. Anyone buying a flat should look up what flats in the same block have sold for on the Land Registry, because a single sale is a better guide than any borough average.
Band D is the most common council tax band, and only about 13% of homes are in bands A or B. Enfield's band D bill is about £2,270 a year, so the running costs start where the average buyer would expect.
Enfield's typical private rent was about £1,780 a month in April 2026 across the whole borough. That is a mean from the Office for National Statistics index, not a figure for this neighbourhood. By size, it runs from about £1,380 for a one-bedroom home and about £1,710 for two bedrooms to about £2,030 for three and about £2,740 for four or more. No reliable figures exist for studios or single rooms. A three-bedroom renter here pays a family-house rent without getting a family house's equity, so the pressure to buy is easy to understand.
The Office for National Statistics modelled gross household income, before tax, at about £69,700 for the financial year to March 2023, averaged across the area. That figure is a few years old and comes from a model. Against a £486,000 median it means a stretch for a single income and real work for two, even before the semi column comes into it. A comfortable household income here still makes for a tight purchase.
Of the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, which was about 87% of them, the median price was about £5,700 per square metre, for a typical floor area of 87 square metres. That is a family-sized space at a London-edge price.
At the 2021 census, about 14% of homes had one bedroom, 27% had two, 41% had three and 18% had four or more. Three bedrooms is the size most buyers search for here, and the town has plenty of them, which is why the terraces set the price and the flats are where buyers can bargain.
Houses in Enfield Town cost a middling amount, about what the stock and the location justify. Buyers can find some value in the flats, but nowhere in the town is a bargain.
