A typical home in South Tottenham sells for about £550,000, and for most buyers that buys part of a house. Terraces go for well over £650,000. Flats go for about £413,000. Detached and semi-detached houses hardly exist here. In practice, buying here means choosing between a staircase you share and a mortgage you'll feel for decades.
The Land Registry recorded 183 sales in the year to May 2026, at a median price of £548,000. The two kinds of home that make up the market split it almost evenly. The 88 flats sold for a median of about £413,000 and the 93 terraced houses for about £677,000. The council-tax valuation list barely records any other kind of home, so the overall median falls in a gap where hardly any homes actually sell. Whether a given month's sales lean towards flats or houses moves that number more than the market does.
The house price index for the area rose 2.4% in the year to May 2026, to an average of about £634,000. Flats rose 0.7% over the same year, which is close to standing still. The longer view is modest too, with the index about 10% higher than five years earlier. Prices have been edging up slowly, without the kind of jump that turns a lucky buyer into a smug one.
Band C is the most common council-tax band here, and about 35% of homes are in bands A or B. Haringey charges about £2,314 a year for band D, which is the figure to compare with your current bill. On these prices, council tax is one of the cheaper parts of living here.
Renting across Haringey costs about £2,210 a month as of April 2026. That is the Office for National Statistics' mean for the whole borough, a sum of every tenancy divided out, and it is not drawn from adverts on these streets. By size, the borough mean runs to about £1,630 for a one-bedroom home, £2,030 for two bedrooms, £2,350 for three and £3,190 for four or more. Rents for studios and single rooms aren't published in that series.
Modelled income here averaged about £66,000 per household before tax in the financial year to March 2023. That figure is gross and three years old, and it is set against a typical sale price of about £550,000. Buying a terrace on that income alone is a long reach, and even a flat needs a large deposit or a second earner. Most households here rent, and these prices go a long way to explaining why.
Measured by floor space, the median works out at about £7,100 per square metre, on a typical floor area of about 90 square metres. That covers about 67% of last year's sales, the ones the Land Registry records could be matched to an energy certificate. The other third went unmeasured. With so many flats converted from Edwardian houses, the measured floor area often includes the bay window and the awkward space under the eaves. A converted flat often comes with a share of the freehold, or with a landlord holding it, and the lease length decides that flat's value more than any of its features.
At the 2021 Census about 30% of households lived in one-bedroom homes and another 30% in two-bedroom homes. Three-bedroom homes made up about 25%, and four bedrooms or more about 16%. A three-bedroom search here mostly returns terraces at terrace prices, and many of the four-bedroom homes are houses that were never split into flats.
Overall, prices in South Tottenham are middling for London. You pay full price for a Victoria line stop, and choosing between a flat and a terrace matters more to your budget than anything the market does over the next year.
