Barnet is neither here nor there as other boroughs have seen their house prices either plummet or rocket over the last year.

Rightmove’s house price index has revealed how the cost of buying a home has changed borough-by-borough in London from December 2015-2016.

The starkest changes come in Havering, where the average house goes for 11.4 per cent more now than it did a year ago, and Camden, where prices have fallen by a drastic 17.7 per cent.

In Barnet, prices have not shifted quite so dramatically – with a shift of only 0.6 per cent upwards since December 2015.

A house in the borough would cost £681,923 on average in December 2015, while this figure has risen slightly to £685,868 as of last month.

While this indicates little change across the 12-month period, experts suggest the market actually suffered after the EU referendum in June and is only just returning to normal levels now.

According to Steve Wayne, managing director of Benjamin Stevens estate agents in Edgware, business is just starting to boom in Barnet after a post-Brexit slump.

He said: “From the summer through to the winter, people were cautious of the market in Barnet, buying and selling below asking prices and fewer sales took place than usual.

“So for several months the average house price across the borough actually dropped, but recently people have had greater confidence and we have seen people buying well above asking prices.

“We have been working in Edgware for years now and have never been quite as busy as we are right now.

“Things should continue on an upward curve and we may be looking at a much stronger picture in a few months’ time.”

In stark comparison, the neighbouring Enfield made was one of eight ‘outer’ London boroughs to make Rightmove’s top 10 fastest rising of the year.

Enfield saw its average house price go up by 7.3 per cent across the year.
