A complete guide to property investment in Upper Edmonton.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Upper Edmonton sits in North London and is a distinctively diverse neighbourhood, with a high proportion of families and a very strong presence in the private and social rented sectors. The area’s housing market is shaped by a large rental community, as seen in the private rented housing percentile in the 92nd percentile and social rented housing in the 87th percentile, both much higher than most of Britain. Owner occupation is rare here, which is typical for this part of London, but worth noting for those seeking long-term stability or resale flexibility.
The current median price per square foot sits at £447 per sq ft, reflecting the area’s relative affordability for London, while the price-to-income ratio of 7.5 and rent-to-income ratio of 39.6% are in line with what you’d expect for the capital. Activity is steady, with 127 annual sales and properties spending a median of 44 days on the market. This is a part of London where rental yields are the headline, with an average of 5.8% and the top-performing postcode district yielding 6.5%.

Upper Edmonton’s outlook remains shaped by its rental market. With rental yields at 5.8% and a high proportion of homes in the private and social rented sectors, this is a neighbourhood where income-focused investors can find opportunities. The area’s affordability relative to much of London, with a median price per square foot at £447 per sq ft, should help support demand from renters and investors alike.
However, capital growth prospects look muted, given the one-year change of -4.6% and three-year annualised growth at 1.3%. Liquidity is reasonable, with homes spending around 44 days on the market and transactions at 127 per year. For investors willing to focus on yield and navigate a market driven by renters, Upper Edmonton offers a stable if unspectacular, long-term proposition.
