How this area has changed

Typical prices for flats, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

Area	Now	5 years ago	10 years ago	15 years ago	20 years ago
Downham Road	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	£289,950
Postcode sector N1 3	£637,500	£622,500 +2% since	£547,750 +16% since	£350,000 +82% since	£279,975 +128% since

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.

Sector N1 3 Islington Typical price each year, flats. A gap is a year with too few sales.
