What do houses cost in Lower Edmonton?

For anyone buying or renting in Lower Edmonton.

The typical home in Lower Edmonton sells for about £408,000, and at that price the typical home is a terrace. Flats sell for a little over half of that. Semis cost more. Prices barely moved in a year. The terrace sets the price, because most of what sells here is a terrace.

The Land Registry recorded 173 sales in the year to mid-May 2026, at a median of about £408,000. Terraces made up 93 of them, at a median of about £425,000. The 50 flats went for around £235,000 and the 25 semis for about £492,000. Only five detached houses changed hands, at a median of about £503,000. With 93 terraces in the count, the headline median is close to the price of a terrace.

The official house price index for the area recorded a fall of 0.7% in the twelve months to May 2026. That is a small change in either direction. Flats did worse, falling 3.5% over the same year. The houses held their value and the flats lost some.

Band C is the most common council tax band, and about 19% of homes are in bands A or B. A band D home pays about £2,268 a year, which is the easiest figure to compare against your current bill.

Across the Enfield area, the Office for National Statistics puts typical private rent at about £1,780 a month in April 2026. That is the borough-wide average from its rent index, and it covers far more streets than these. By size, a one-bedroom home rents for about £1,380 a month, a two-bedroom for about £1,710, a three-bedroom for about £2,030 and a four-bedroom or larger for about £2,740.

The Office for National Statistics models typical household income here at about £62,400 a year before tax, for the financial year to March 2023. Set against that, a terrace at around £425,000 is a stretch for most households. A flat at around £235,000 is within reach. That income figure is from before tax and before the cost of living went up, so the stretch is wider than it looks.

Of the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, about 80% of the total, the median price works out at about £5,140 per square metre, for a typical floor area of 82 square metres. Every home's energy certificate on the government register lists its floor area, which is the quickest way to see whether a given asking price is above or below that line.

At the 2021 census, about 42% of homes had three bedrooms, 28% had two, 18% had one and 12% had four or more. Three bedrooms is the most common size, which is what you get when most of the housing is interwar terraces.

The prices here are middling. A terrace is a stretch on a local income, a flat is within reach, and over the last year prices have neither run away from buyers nor fallen to meet them.
