A house in North Harrow costs about £543,000, and that price buys an interwar semi on a tube line. Semis go for well over half a million. Flats go for about half the price of a terrace. Prices have barely moved in a year. Anyone waiting for North Harrow to get cheap could be waiting a long time, because it is barely moving in either direction.
The Land Registry recorded 232 sales in the year to late May 2026, at a typical price of about £543,000. The split by type is wide. The 80 semis that sold went for around £640,000 and the 81 terraced houses for about £546,000. The 61 flats came in at around £290,000, while the 10 detached sales averaged about £813,000. Terraces and semis sold in almost equal numbers, and the semi carries the premium for a side return and a little more garden.
The published house price index for the area put the average at about £530,000 in May 2026, up less than half a percent on a year earlier. That is close enough to flat that nobody can call it a boom. Flats did slightly worse, down about 2% over the same twelve months. If you are buying a flat in one of the purpose-built blocks, ask how many years are left on the lease. A short lease will usually explain a price that looks too good.
Band D is the commonest council tax band, and Harrow bills it at about £2,510 a year. Only about 6% of homes are in bands A or B, so finding a cheap band here means looking for something that hardly exists.
The Office for National Statistics index puts typical private rent at about £1,760 a month for the Harrow council area as a whole, as of April 2026. That is a mean across the borough, up about 3% on a year earlier. Broken down by size, a one-bed averages about £1,380, a two-bed about £1,700, a three-bed about £2,040 and a four-bed or larger about £2,760 a month. Studio and room rents are not published.
Modelled household income across the area was about £81,000 a year before tax in the financial year to March 2023, or around £54,000 once tax is taken off. Against a typical sale price of £543,000, that leaves a single-income household some way short of a semi. Two salaries in good jobs can manage it. The £81,000 figure makes a mortgage look comfortable, but the lender works from the £54,000.
Across the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate, about 81% of them, the median price was about £6,100 per square metre. The typical home behind that figure has about 93 square metres of floor space, which is a three-bed semi with the loft still unconverted.
The 2021 census counted about 13% of homes with one bedroom, 22% with two, 42% with three and 23% with four or more. The three-bed is the standard family house in North Harrow, and most buyers searching here will be competing for one.
North Harrow costs a middling amount for London. It is steady enough that you will not get a bargain or lose your shirt, and at those prices the semis are within reach of couples on two salaries, not one.
