Should you invest in Totteridge?

Opportunities

  • The area offers stable rental yields, with the top-performing postcode district achieving 4.7%, which is competitive for North London.
  • High levels of degree-educated residents and professionals (in the 92nd and 97th percentiles) may support long-term demand for quality rental accommodation.
  • Family demand is strong, as seen in the 86th percentile for families, which could make larger homes particularly attractive for investors.

Risks

  • Capital growth over the past year has changed by -3.5%, so short-term price appreciation has been limited.
  • Affordability may be a concern, given the price-to-income ratio of 9.9 and median asking prices for typical homes.
  • The median achieved price being £15,000 (the typical achieved discount) below asking indicates buyers may expect to negotiate, which could impact liquidity.

Outlook

Looking ahead, the fundamentals in Totteridge remain stable, supported by a highly educated and professional population and strong family demand. While capital growth over the past year has changed by -3.5%, the three-year growth stands at 8.4%, with an annualised rate of 2.7%, suggesting some resilience over the medium term.

Rental yields are steady at 4.7%, and the supply of homes remains balanced, with 167 transactions and a median marketing period of 91 days. Affordability will continue to be a challenge for some buyers, but this is consistent with much of London. Investors should expect a market that favours steady, long-term returns rather than rapid short-term gains.
