September 2025 North London Property Market Insights

As summer draws to a close, the property market in North London has shown resilience and stability. At Hoopers Estate Agents in Neasden, we’ve reviewed the latest insights from Halifax, Nationwide, Rightmove, and Zoopla to give you a clear picture of the market this September.

Whether you’re thinking of selling your home in North London, moving within the area, or buying your first property, here’s what you need to know.

North London house prices remain steady

Across the UK, property prices are holding firm. Halifax reported the average house price at £299,331 in August – a 0.3% monthly increase and 2.2% higher than last year. Nationwide reports similar annual growth, while Rightmove recorded a seasonal dip of 1.3% in asking prices.

For homeowners in North London, this stability is reassuring: prices are broadly flat month-to-month and modestly up year-on-year, indicating a stable property market in the area.

Buyers remain active in North London

Even during the typical summer slowdown, serious buyers are still active. Zoopla reports demand is 4% higher than this time last year, with sales agreed up 5%. Rightmove also recorded an 8% increase in sales agreed compared with August 2024 – one of the busiest late summers in recent years.

For sellers in North London, this means well-priced homes continue to attract offers, often within weeks rather than months.

More homes on the market

Across the UK, there are now roughly 10% more properties for sale compared with last year, a trend reflected in North London.

This increase in supply gives buyers more choice and means sellers must be realistic. In August, over a third of properties required a price reduction before securing a buyer – the highest level since 2023. Pricing correctly from the start remains critical in a competitive market.

Mortgage rates improving affordability

The Bank of England’s decision to hold the base rate at 4.00% in September has helped ease mortgage costs. Average 2- and 5-year fixed rates are now below 5%, down from over 6% last summer, with some lenders offering sub-4% deals.

Combined with wage growth, this is improving affordability for buyers across North London, encouraging more people to enter the market.

Autumn outlook for North London

Looking ahead, the North London property market looks stable, balanced, and competitive. Sellers will face more competition as supply grows, but motivated buyers and softening mortgage rates provide a strong opportunity to secure a move before the end of the year.

The Autumn Budget and North London property

The Autumn Budget on 26 November has generated speculation about property taxes and stamp duty reform. While headlines are focused on potential changes, nothing is certain until the announcement. Any changes may also take time to come into effect.

Our advice for North London buyers and sellers: don’t wait on speculation – focus on your property plans now.
