Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on N5: steady sales, so price from the evidence
N5 sees about 21 sales a month, a pace that gives buyers and sellers something to compare, without a year-on-year figure we would stand behind.
If you are thinking of selling, with terraced homes at £1,685,000 and flats at £571,000, the £381,800 to £1,750,000 spread is really several markets, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; most homes here sell leasehold, so have the lease length, ground rent and service charge paperwork ready before you list.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, typical prices in N5 sit well above the UK average, so a premium over the average needs a reason you can see in the sold homes of the same type.
Before an offer goes in on any N5 home, look at the lease (length, ground rent and service charge), what has been applied for nearby (4,264 applications on record within 500 m) and flood risk over the long term, and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free N5 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Hackney (N5) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: terraced homes sold for a typical £1,685,000 against £571,000 for flats: about 3.0 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £381,800 and £1,750,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- 81% of these sales were leasehold, which marks a flat-heavy market. Buyers here weigh remaining lease length, ground rent and service charges as much as the price.
- This is an active district: about 21 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled N5 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 8, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
N5 1EB, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 5 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so N5 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in N5: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

What it costs to run a home in N5, band by band
Hackney's council tax for 2026-27 set against the N5 median sold price of £631,500 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the N5 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
