Haringey sits in north London. Average sold prices across Haringey sit at £646,557 on the HM Land Registry House Price Index, 123.0% above the England average of £289,946 and well clear of the London regional average of £542,065. What makes the borough unusual is not the headline price but the spread underneath it. A detached home averages £2,405,458 while a flat averages £479,932, and the same split runs east to west: Tottenham in the east sells for a fraction of Highgate in the west. Haringey's population grew 3.65% between the 2011 and 2021 censuses, from 254,926 to 264,238 residents.

That price spread is what drives the yield spread. Across the 11 postcodes, gross rental yields run from 3.3% in N6 (Highgate), N10 (Muswell Hill) and N14 (Southgate) up to 6.1% in N17 (Tottenham), where the £433,256 asking price is the lowest in the borough and the £2,205 monthly rent is mid-table. The borough's eastern corridor, where over £2 billion of regeneration is concentrated, holds the cheaper stock and the higher yields; the western ridge holds the premium houses and the compressed returns. For an investor the two halves of Haringey behave like two different markets sharing one council.

This guide covers the London Borough of Haringey (ONS code E09000014) across postcodes N4, N6, N8, N10, N11, N13, N14, N15, N17, N19 and N22. Haringey sits in North London, bordering Enfield to the north, Waltham Forest and Hackney to the east, Islington and Camden to the south, and Barnet to the west. Several postcodes straddle borough lines: N6 extends into Camden, N19 into Islington, and N11 and N22 touch Barnet and Enfield.

Why Invest in Haringey?

Haringey grew its population 3.65% between the 2011 and 2021 censuses, from 254,926 to 264,238 residents, a slower rate than the England and Wales average of 6.3%. What the headcount understates is how the borough is changing on the ground. Tottenham and Seven Sisters in the east sit at the centre of London's largest current regeneration programmes, while Highgate and Muswell Hill in the west are among the capital's most settled residential districts. Haringey covers roughly 11 square miles and packs both extremes into one borough.

The median gross annual salary for Haringey residents is £43,995, drawn from weekly earnings of £846.10. That is below the London regional median of £892.60 a week but above the Great Britain median of £752.40. The employment rate of 71.5% sits below the Great Britain rate of 75.6%, and the unemployment rate of 7.1% is higher than the national picture. Those readings reflect a young, mixed and mobile population, exactly the profile that fills a deep private rented sector.

Tenant demand is the strongest single signal in Haringey's data. All 11 postcodes carry live rental listings, and every one of them reads as a landlord's market on the lettings side, with homes letting in 27 to 57 days. In a borough where renting is the majority tenure in several postcodes, the question for an investor is less whether a property will let and more what return the asking price allows.

Regeneration and Investment in Haringey

More than £2 billion of regeneration investment is concentrated along Haringey's eastern corridor, from Tottenham Hale to High Road West, with over 6,000 new homes planned across Tottenham and Wood Green. The programmes are at different stages, but they share a single geography: the cheaper, higher-yielding eastern postcodes (N17, N15, N22) where asking prices are lowest. That is the part of the borough where new supply, new transport capacity and new jobs are landing together.

• High Road West, Tottenham (Under construction, £2 billion programme): A full regeneration programme next to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, delivered by Lendlease with The Crown Estate. Plans cover 2,600 new homes with 40% affordable, including at least 500 council homes at council rents. Phase A, 61 homes at the Love Lane Estate, was approved in February 2026. Updates at Haringey Council.
• Tottenham Hale (In delivery, £600m+): A mixed-use development built around the Tottenham Hale transport interchange, comprising 1,032 new homes across seven buildings. Related Argent is delivering the Ferry Island scheme with completion phases through 2026, and the nearby Ashley Road Depot adds 275 council homes. Updates at Haringey Council.
• Wood Green / Haringey Heartlands (London Plan Opportunity Area): Earmarked for 4,500 new homes and 2,500 new jobs by 2041. Berkeley Group's Alexandra Gate development includes 1,714 apartments, the Chocolate Factory Phase 2 adds 150 homes at council rent, and a one-acre public park has already opened. Updates at Haringey Council.

Haringey Property Market Analysis

Average property prices in Haringey have risen 688.5% since January 1995, from £81,997 to £646,557. The sections below walk through that journey cycle by cycle, then drill into current postcode-level data for sold prices, price per square foot, asking prices, growth trends, and monthly transaction volumes.

When was the last house price crash in Haringey?

All sold property prices for Haringey come from HM Land Registry at borough level, covering January 1995 to March 2026, which is 31 years of London market cycles. Haringey ran with the capital through the 2000s boom, fell harder than the London average in the crash, then recovered ahead of it.

The 1995 to 2007 boom: Haringey started at £81,997 in January 1995 and climbed to a pre-crash peak of £351,634 in October 2007, a 328.8% rise over almost 13 years. London's long economic expansion and cheap credit pulled North London prices up faster than most of the country.

2008 to 2009, the financial crisis: From the October 2007 peak of £351,634, prices fell to a trough of £280,048 in February 2009, a decline of 20.4% over 16 months. The worst year-on-year reading was -17.8% in May 2009. Haringey's fall was steeper than both London's regional decline and the England fall of 18.2%, which is typical of a borough where higher leverage and investor activity amplify the swing.

The 2010 to 2013 recovery: The bounce was fast by national standards. Prices were back above the October 2007 peak by April 2011 at £352,594, roughly three and a half years after the trough, while much of the country was still years from recovery. By December 2013 the average had reached £419,255, comfortably above the old peak.

2014 to 2016, the London boom: This was Haringey's fastest growth on record. Annual change readings ran in double digits and peaked at 24.3% in June 2014, as buyers priced out of inner London moved north along the Victoria and Piccadilly lines. By March 2016 the average had reached £548,595.

2017 to 2019, the Brexit slowdown: Growth stalled. Annual change readings turned negative through 2019, reaching -4.6% in April 2019, as London transaction volumes thinned under political uncertainty and earlier price gains met affordability ceilings.

2020 to 2022, the pandemic era: The stamp duty holiday and a shift towards more space revived demand. Prices recovered from the 2019 plateau and pushed past £630,000 by early 2023, with the boost more muted than in greener commuter markets because flats dominate Haringey's stock.

2023 to 2024, the rate shock: Higher mortgage rates cooled the market again. The worst reading was -5.9% in June 2024, though prices held in a band between roughly £590,000 and £640,000 rather than crashing.

2024 to present: Recovery resumed from late 2024 and carried the borough to an all-time high of £653,146 in October 2025. Prices have since eased gently, reaching £646,557 by the latest reading in March 2026, 1.0% below that October high and 83.9% above the 2007 pre-crash peak.

Long-term growth summary:

• 5 years (March 2021 to March 2026): 9.4% growth (£590,899 to £646,557)
• 10 years (March 2016 to March 2026): 17.9% growth (£548,595 to £646,557)
• 15 years (March 2011 to March 2026): 87.6% growth (£344,712 to £646,557)
• 20 years (March 2006 to March 2026): 135.6% growth (£274,442 to £646,557)
• 30 years (January 1995 to March 2026): 688.5% growth (£81,997 to £646,557)

The five-year figure of 9.4% is the headline most investors should sit with. After a decade of double-digit London growth to 2016, Haringey's borough-wide average has crept rather than surged, and the all-time high in late 2025 sits only 17.9% above where the borough was a full decade earlier. An investor who bought at the exact October 2007 peak would be up 83.9% on the Land Registry average, but the flat borough number hides real divergence between postcodes, which the growth table below brings out.

Sold House Prices in Haringey

The average sold price across all property types in Haringey is £646,557, which is 123.0% above the England average of £289,946 as of March 2026. The premium holds across every property type, but it widens sharply with house size. A flat sells for 123.7% above the England flat average; a detached house sells for 411.3% above it. That gap is the clearest single fact about Haringey's market: the flat at the bottom is North London expensive, the detached house at the top is a different asset class entirely.

Detached houses at £2,405,458 carry by far the largest premium, 411.3% above England's £470,492. This is a very thin, very high-value slice of the borough, concentrated in N6 (Highgate) and N10 (Muswell Hill) where large Victorian and Edwardian villas rarely come to market. Because so few detached homes change hands, a handful of trophy sales pulls the average well above anything a typical buy-to-let buyer would consider.

Semi-detached houses at £1,245,037 sit 332.0% above England's £288,185. The semi-detached stock clusters in the western and northern postcodes such as N14 (Southgate), N10 and N8 (Crouch End, Hornsey), where interwar streets and school catchments draw family buyers paying for space rather than yield.

Terraced houses at £811,739 are 233.0% above England's £243,788, and terraces are the most investable house type in the borough. The range within that average is wide: a Tottenham terrace in the east sits well below a Crouch End terrace in the west, which is what gives the eastern postcodes their higher yields off lower asking prices.

Flats and maisonettes at £479,932 carry the smallest premium at 123.7% above England's £214,563. Flats dominate transactions across Haringey, particularly in N4 (Finsbury Park, Harringay), N15 (South Tottenham, Seven Sisters), N17 and the Wood Green corridor, and the regeneration pipeline will add thousands more. For most investors, the flat is the realistic unit, and it is the one carrying the borough's best yields.

Price Per Square Foot in Haringey

Sold prices per square foot in Haringey run from £536 in N13 (Palmers Green) to £923 in N6 (Highgate), a 41.9% gap across the borough. Measuring by the square foot controls for how big the homes are, so it compares the locations themselves rather than the house types in them. All figures here are from actual sold transactions, not asking prices.

N13 at £536 per square foot is the cheapest space in Haringey, with N17 just behind at £556. Palmers Green and Tottenham are the value end on a per-foot basis, which is where a budget stretches furthest for floor area. An investor buying in N17 pays 39.8% less per square foot than one buying in N6, so the same money buys materially more home in the east.

N6 at £923 per square foot tops the table by a clear margin. Highgate's mix of premium period housing, village character and proximity to Hampstead Heath commands the borough's highest per-foot rate, and the price reflects location quality rather than property size. The step up from N19 at £796 to N6 marks the top of the western pricing tier.

For Sale Asking Prices in Haringey

N17 (Tottenham) at £433,256 and N6 (Highgate) at £948,023 sit 118.8% apart, the widest asking-price gap among the 11 postcodes. That hierarchy mirrors the east-west divide and is more pronounced than in most London boroughs. The mean asking price across all 11 Haringey postcodes is £608,827.

N17 at £433,256 is the lowest entry point in the borough, with N15 next at £473,888. Tottenham and South Tottenham are where the £2 billion regeneration corridor and the cheapest asking prices overlap, so this is the part of Haringey an income-focused investor reaches for. The three cheapest postcodes (N17, N15, N11) all sit below the borough mean.

N6 at £948,023 is the outlier at the top, 118.8% more than N17. Highgate is premium owner-occupier territory shared with Camden, and the rental-yield data below confirms it: the borough's highest price pairs with one of its lowest returns. N10 and N14 form the rest of the western premium tier above the mean.

House Price Growth in Haringey

Three Haringey postcodes posted positive growth across all three timeframes (N8, N13 and N22), while N11 leads the five-year table at 14.0%. The borough's flat headline average masks a wide divergence, with N10 (Muswell Hill) negative across every window and the eastern regeneration postcodes generally stronger than the premium western ones.

N22 at 13.0% over one year has the strongest recent momentum, and is one of three postcodes (with N8 and N13) positive across all three windows. Wood Green sits at the heart of the Haringey Heartlands opportunity area, and its run of new supply, new jobs and improving transport has fed steady demand. N8 (Crouch End, Hornsey) carries a 13.6% five-year reading with positive numbers throughout, and N11 (New Southgate, Bounds Green) tops the five-year table at 14.0% despite a soft three-year stretch.

At the other end, N10 (Muswell Hill) is negative across one, three and five years, and N6 (Highgate) is down 10.1% over five years despite a small recent uptick. The premium western postcodes have been the weakest performers, which is consistent with the wider London pattern of high-value stock cooling fastest after the rate shock. N17 (Tottenham) is also soft on price growth, a reminder that its appeal to investors is the yield and the regeneration story rather than recent capital gains.

Monthly Property Sales in Haringey

Monthly sales range from 8 transactions in N6 (Highgate) to 33 in N8 (Crouch End, Hornsey), with turnover from 3% to 14% of stock per year. Transaction volume and turnover together show how easily a postcode trades, which matters as much for the eventual sale as the rent does for the hold.

N15 (South Tottenham, Seven Sisters) has the highest turnover in Haringey at 14%, ahead of the borough's other eastern postcodes. A higher turnover means more homes change hands each year, which gives a buy-to-let investor a clearer run of comparable sales and an easier exit when the time comes to sell.

N6 (Highgate) sits at the bottom on both counts, with 8 sales a month and just 3% turnover. Premium stock in a small, tightly held market trades slowly, so a seller in N6 can wait a long time for the right buyer. N8 records the most transactions at 33 a month, reflecting a deep pool of mid-priced flats and terraces that move steadily.

How Long Properties Take to Sell in Haringey

N15 (South Tottenham, Seven Sisters) clears fastest at around 234 days, while N6 (Highgate) is slowest at roughly 1,014 days, a fourfold gap in selling time. Time on market measures how long a sale takes; the months-of-supply figure shows how much for-sale stock is queued to clear at the current rate of sales. In Haringey both readings point the same way: the cheaper eastern postcodes move, the premium western ones sit.

The selling-speed table reframes the whole borough. N6 (Highgate) tops the price-per-foot and asking-price tables, but at around 1,014 days to sell and 33 months of unsold stock, a buyer there is committing to a postcode that is slow to exit. N15 at 234 days and 7.7 months of supply is the quickest mover, and the eastern postcodes generally clear faster than the premium west. For a buy-to-let investor, that exit liquidity is a real holding cost that no yield figure captures.

What Type of Property Can You Buy in Haringey?

Flats are the largest single category in most Haringey postcodes, from 28.5% of stock in N14 (Southgate) to 80.2% in N4 (Finsbury Park, Harringay), while detached and semi-detached houses concentrate in the western postcodes. The housing mix shapes which strategies fit where, and in Haringey it tracks the east-west divide closely. The figures below come from 2021 Census records for each postcode.

N4 (Finsbury Park, Harringay) is the most flat-dominated postcode at 80.2%, with N19 (Archway, Upper Holloway) close behind at 76.9%. These are the converted-terrace and purpose-built flat markets near the Victoria and Piccadilly lines, the classic single-let and sharer stock that drives rental income. They line up with the higher yields and the deeper private rented sectors in the borough's south and east.

N14 (Southgate) is the most house-led postcode, with semi-detached homes alone making up 50.5% of stock and flats just 28.5%. The western and northern fringe (N14, N11, N13) carries more semi-detached and terraced family housing, which matches its higher asking prices and lower yields. N6 (Highgate) carries by far the largest detached share at 20.4%, against 9.5% in N14 and under 6% everywhere else, the trophy stock that drags the detached average past £2.4 million.

The flats figure covers both purpose-built blocks and conversions, and a small share of non-standard dwellings is left out, so rows may not total 100%.

Haringey Rental Market Analysis

Monthly rents in Haringey range from £1,851 in N15 to £2,611 in N6, with gross rental yields from 3.3% to 6.1% across all 11 postcodes. For investors asking is buy to let worth it in Haringey, the sections below break down rents, yields and tenant affordability postcode by postcode. If you are weighing how to build a property portfolio in London, Haringey's combination of a deep private rented sector and a regeneration-led eastern corridor is the case to study.

Average Rent & Gross Rental Yields in Haringey

Gross rental yields in Haringey range from 3.3% in N6, N10 and N14 to 6.1% in N17 (Tottenham). The pattern is consistent: the cheapest postcodes deliver the highest yields, and the premium western postcodes deliver the lowest. N6 (Highgate) charges the highest rent at £2,611 a month yet sits at the bottom for yield, because its £948,023 asking price is more than double N17's.

N17 at 6.1% is the clear yield leader, pairing the borough's lowest asking price of £433,256 with a £2,205 monthly rent. A 30% deposit there is £129,977, the lowest entry in Haringey, and the postcode sits at the centre of the £2 billion regeneration corridor. N19 (Archway, Upper Holloway) follows at 5.3%, with N4 (Finsbury Park, Harringay) at 4.8% on a higher rent of £2,437.

N6, N10 and N14 share the bottom of the yield table at 3.3%. In all three the income return is compressed by a high purchase price rather than weak rent: N6 commands the borough's top rent at £2,611 a month but needs nearly a million pounds of capital to buy. These are postcodes where the premium price does far more for the rent than for the return.

Is Haringey Rent High?

Monthly rents in Haringey consume between 50.5% and 71.2% of the local median gross monthly salary. The widely cited threshold for rent affordability is 30% of gross income, and every Haringey postcode sits well above it. That is a London reality rather than a Haringey one: in a borough where a one-bedroom flat rents for around £2,000 a month and the median resident earns £3,666 a month, single earners are routinely priced into sharing.

The median gross weekly salary in Haringey is £846.10, which equates to £3,666 per month or £43,995 per year. This is below the London regional median of £892.60 per week but above the Great Britain median of £752.40 per week. Data from the Nomis Labour Market Profile (ASHE 2025).

N15 (South Tottenham, Seven Sisters) at 50.5% is the most affordable for a single earner on the median wage, and N13 (Palmers Green) is close behind at 51.7%. Even these, the lowest in the borough, sit well above the 30% benchmark. For a landlord, the practical read is that Haringey rents are carried by sharing households and dual incomes rather than single median earners, which is why the private rented sector and the sharer market matter so much here.

N6 (Highgate) at 71.2% is the least affordable against the median wage, but the tenants paying £2,611 a month in Highgate are typically higher earners or households well above the borough median. The affordability ratio reads worst where the rent is highest, not where the tenant is most stretched.

How Big Is Haringey's Private Rented Sector?

Renting privately is the largest or near-largest tenure across eastern Haringey, peaking at 41.0% of households in N4 (Finsbury Park, Harringay) and 40.8% in N15, against 23.0% in N14 (Southgate) at the western end. A high private-rented share signals a deep, already-proven lettings market rather than an untested one. The table below shows household tenure by postcode.

N4 and N15 have the deepest private rented sectors in Haringey, with around 40% of households renting from a private landlord. A rented share that size points to an active, well-established lettings market and a broad pool of existing tenants, which is exactly where the higher yields and the flat-heavy stock sit. N17 (Tottenham) combines a 34.8% private rented share with the borough's highest social-rented share at 34.1%, the legacy of large council estates now being rebuilt through the regeneration programme.

N14 (Southgate) sits at the other end with the smallest private rented sector at 23.0% and the highest combined ownership. The western family postcodes are owner-occupier territory, which fits their lower yields and slower turnover. On the lettings side, the demand signal is consistent: all 11 postcodes read as a landlord's market, with homes letting in 27 to 57 days, so the question for an investor is the return rather than whether a property lets.

HMO Room Rents in Haringey

Where the room-let market is deep enough to read, a double room with a shared bathroom rents for around £212 a week in N4 (Finsbury Park, Harringay) and £219 in N19 (Archway, Upper Holloway). The flat-heavy, high-rent southern postcodes are where the sharer and HMO model works hardest, because a single household struggles with a £2,000-plus monthly rent on the median wage. Only the double-shared-bathroom room type carries enough live adverts to quote with any confidence.

N4 (Finsbury Park, Harringay) has the largest room-let sample in the borough, with a double sharing a bathroom averaging £212 a week and a wide £168 to £272 range across the adverts. Finsbury Park's transport links and its proximity to several universities make it Haringey's strongest sharer market. N19 (Archway, Upper Holloway) edges it on the headline figure at £219, while the four western and northern postcodes (N6, N8, N10, N14) carry too few live room adverts to read reliably. For how the numbers stack up on a shared house, see our complete guide to investing in HMOs.

Local Housing Allowance Rates in Haringey

Haringey's postcodes fall across three Broad Rental Market Areas, so Local Housing Allowance is not uniform: a two-bedroom rate runs from £322.19 a week in the Outer North London area up to £412.86 a week in the Inner North London area. The LHA rate is the most housing support a tenant on benefits can claim, which makes it an effective rent floor for landlords letting to that part of the market. Unusually for a single borough, Haringey straddles three rental market areas, so the rate depends on the postcode.

Most of Haringey, including N8, N10, N11, N13, N14, N15, N17 and N22, falls within the Outer North London market area, where the two-bedroom rate of £322.19 a week works out at about £1,396 a month. N6 (Highgate) and N19 (Archway, Upper Holloway) sit in the higher Inner North London area, and N4 (Finsbury Park, Harringay) falls in the Inner East London area, both of which set a two-bedroom rate above £400 a week. Across all three areas the LHA rate sits below the open-market rents recorded in this guide, so a benefit-backed tenancy underpins the lower end of the market rather than matching it. To check the current rate for a specific address, use the government's official Local Housing Allowance calculator.

Buy-to-Let Considerations

Are House Prices High in Haringey? Price-to-Earnings Ratios

Buying a property in Haringey requires between 9.8 and 21.5 times the median annual salary. This is based on the Nomis Labour Market Profile for Haringey showing the median gross annual income for Haringey residents is £43,995.

The national benchmark for price-to-earnings is 7.4x (England's average sold price of £289,946 divided by the Great Britain median annual salary of £39,125). Every Haringey postcode sits above that national benchmark, which is the arithmetic of London affordability: even the cheapest entry, N17 at 9.8x, asks nearly ten years of the local median salary.

N17 at 9.8x is the most affordable entry in Haringey relative to local earnings, and N15 follows at 10.8x. The two eastern Tottenham postcodes are the only ones in single digits or close to it, which is consistent with their lower asking prices and higher yields. They are the part of the borough where the price-to-earnings maths works least against an investor.

N6 (Highgate) at 21.5x is more than double the borough's cheapest postcode and almost three times the national benchmark. At over 20 times the local median salary, Highgate is firmly equity-buyer and downsizer territory rather than a yield play. The high ratio is the same fact as the low yield seen from the buyer's side rather than the landlord's.

Deposit Requirements in Haringey

A 30% deposit on a buy-to-let property in Haringey runs from £129,977 in N17 (Tottenham) to £284,407 in N6 (Highgate). The gap between the cheapest and most expensive deposit is £154,430, which is more than a whole second deposit in N17. London entry costs are high everywhere, but the spread across Haringey means the postcode choice changes the capital needed by a factor of more than two.

Beyond the deposit, the stamp duty calculation and other buy to let costs add to the total capital required, and in London the stamp duty bill on a £400,000-plus second home is a substantial line of its own.

N17 is the cheapest way into Haringey, at a £129,977 deposit, and it buys the borough's top yield of 6.1% in the heart of the regeneration corridor. Stepping up to N15 costs about £12,000 more for a similar 4.7% yield and the borough's fastest turnover. The eastern Tottenham postcodes keep the entry cost down and the income up, which is the combination an income-led investor is looking for.

At the top of the table, N6 needs a £284,407 deposit, more than twice N17's, for a 3.3% yield and a market that takes around 1,014 days to sell. The deposit gap between N14 at £215,305 and N6 is £69,102, and it buys a different proposition rather than just a bigger number: Highgate's premium stock trades slowly and yields least, while the cheaper postcodes trade faster and earn more.

What the Haringey Data Tells Buy-to-Let Investors

In Haringey the cheapest way in is also the highest-yielding, and it sits at the centre of the borough's regeneration. N17 (Tottenham) has the top yield at 6.1%, the lowest asking price for buying an investment property at £433,256, and the lowest deposit at £129,977 for a home renting at £2,205 a month. It also carries the most affordable price-to-earnings ratio in the borough at 9.8x, and the £2 billion High Road West and Tottenham Hale programmes are landing on its doorstep.

The trade-off is recent capital growth, where N17 is soft, down 1.1% over a year and 5.8% over three. The momentum postcodes are further north: N22 (Wood Green) is positive across one, three and five years (up 13.0%, 6.4% and 11.0%), and N8 (Crouch End, Hornsey) posts a 13.6% five-year reading. Both pair growth with mid-table yields around 4.3%, so they sit between income and capital rather than topping either.

At the premium end, N6 (Highgate), N10 (Muswell Hill) and N14 (Southgate) share the borough's lowest yield at 3.3%. N6 commands the highest rent at £2,611 a month, but on a near-million-pound asking price and a 1,014-day selling time, the premium price is doing far more for the rent than for the return or the exit. Investors who want to come in below those asking prices often work the off-market property channels, where stock moves before it reaches the portals.

Haringey reads as two markets in one borough. The eastern Tottenham and Wood Green corridor offers the higher yields, the lower entry costs, the deeper private rented sector and the regeneration pipeline; the western ridge from Highgate to Southgate offers premium housing, slow turnover and compressed returns. With renting the majority or near-majority tenure across the east, and every postcode reading as a landlord's market on lettings, the demand side is not the question here. The asking price is.

How Haringey Compares

Haringey's mean asking price of £608,827 sits in the middle of five North London neighbours, with a top yield of 6.1% that trails only Enfield and Waltham Forest at the cheaper end of the table. The comparison below places Haringey alongside four bordering boroughs, each with a different investor profile. The mean asking price and mean monthly rent are simple averages across all postcodes with data. Top gross yield is the single highest postcode yield in each location.

Haringey is the middle of this comparison on price at £608,827, and its 6.1% top yield is closely matched by the two cheaper boroughs either side of it. Enfield at £539,526 and Waltham Forest at £518,892 offer marginally higher top yields of 6.4% and 6.3% on lower asking prices, so for a pure income play they edge Haringey, though without its concentrated regeneration story.

At the higher-priced end, Hackney at £653,333 commands the strongest rents in the group at £2,617 a month but a lower top yield of 5.7%, while Barnet at £693,741 is the most expensive entry and the lowest top yield at 5.6%. Haringey's draw against these neighbours is the combination of a mid-range asking price, the borough's deep eastern private rented sector and the £2 billion regeneration corridor.
