Property investment stats for Tufnell Park, North London

A complete guide to property investment in Tufnell Park.

Last updated: 18 September 2025

Investment summary

Tufnell Park sits comfortably among North London's most established neighbourhoods, attracting a well-educated and professional crowd, as shown by the population's position in the 95th percentile for degree holders and 90th for professionals and managers. The area is especially popular with young adults, with both the 20-30 and 30-40 age groups in the 93rd percentile, and it has a strong presence of single occupiers and private renters. This creates a lively rental market, supported by a rental yield of 4.9% and a median asking rent for a two-bedroom flat of £2,400.

With a median price per square foot of £850 per sq ft, Tufnell Park is on the pricier side, but the price-to-income ratio of 7.6 is not outlandish by London standards. Liquidity is reasonable, with properties spending an average of 65 days on the market and annual sales at 266.

Should you invest in Tufnell Park?

Opportunities

  • The area offers a strong rental yield of 4.9%, with even higher returns available in the top-performing postcode district at 5.3%.
  • High demand from young professionals and students (both in the 89th percentile or above) supports consistent rental interest and reduces void risk.
  • Achieved prices are matching asking prices on average (£0 (the typical achieved discount)), suggesting sellers and buyers are closely aligned and reducing the risk of overpaying.

Risks

  • The area has seen capital growth over 1 year change by -2.1%, which may concern those seeking short-term gains.
  • Affordability remains a challenge, with a price-to-income ratio of 7.6 and a rent-to-income ratio of 31.4%, both high but typical for central London.
  • Owner-occupation is low (in the 7th percentile), so investors may face more competition from other landlords than buyers looking for a home.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Tufnell Park's fundamentals remain solid. The large proportion of renters and the area’s appeal to young professionals and students suggest rental demand will stay resilient. The median sale price for a three-bedroom house is £950,000 and the median rent for the same is £4,725, showing the ongoing appetite for both sales and lettings in the area.

While short-term capital growth has changed by -2.1%, the three-year figure of 6.2% and annualised growth of 2.0% point to steady, if unspectacular, long-term performance. For investors focused on London’s stability and reliable rental returns, Tufnell Park continues to offer a balanced proposition.
