A typical home in Wood Green sells for about £585,000, and the type of home moves that number more than the street does. Flats go for about £450,000. Terraces go for about £715,000. Semi-detached houses come up so rarely they barely count as a market. For a part of London most people know for its shopping centre, it costs like somewhere with ideas about itself.
In the Land Registry's year to May 2026, 194 homes sold in Wood Green at a median of about £585,000. The split by type is where the price lives. Flats made up 84 of those sales at a median of about £453,000, and terraced houses 101 at about £715,000. Just eight semi-detached houses changed hands, at a median near £828,000. Almost everything that sells here is either a flat or a terrace, so those two numbers are the real price list.
The house price index for the area put the average at about £634,000 in May 2026, up 2.4% on a year earlier, and up about 10% over five years. Flats on the same index rose 0.7% over the year. Anyone waiting for a Wood Green flat to either take off or fall over has had a dull twelve months.
Band C is the most common council tax band, and bands A and B together cover about 18% of homes. Haringey's band D bill comes to about £2,314 a year, the figure most people can hold up against what they pay now.
Haringey's typical private rent comes to about £2,210 a month, a mean across the whole borough from the Office for National Statistics index as of April 2026, up 2.4% on the year. By size, the borough averages about £1,630 a month for one bedroom, £2,030 for two, £2,350 for three and £3,190 for four or more. Haringey Arts Council set up the Chocolate Factory as artists' studios in 1996, and nobody has found cheap space in Wood Green since.
Household income across the area averages about £69,000 a year before tax, a modelled figure from the Office for National Statistics for the financial year to March 2023. Against a median sale of about £585,000, that is a stretch for a single household buying anything bigger than a flat, and a terrace at about £715,000 is a two-salary job with help from somewhere. The income figure is also three years old, which flatters nobody.
Of the sales that could be matched to a floor area on an energy certificate, about 82% of the year's total, the median price was about £7,290 a square metre, on a typical floor area of about 90 square metres. That figure is the cleanest way to compare two homes at different asking prices. The floor area is printed on every home's energy certificate, and dividing the asking price by it takes two minutes and saves a lot of arguing with yourself.
At the 2021 census, about 25% of households in Wood Green had one bedroom, 32% had two, 26% had three and 16% had four or more. Two bedrooms is the standard issue, which lines up with a market where flats and terraces do almost all the trading.
Houses in Wood Green cost a fair bit more than the local incomes comfortably carry, with prices moving slowly and flats barely moving at all. It is a middling-to-dear place to buy, where the flat is the realistic way in and the terrace is the one people save up for.
