The latest house price index from Rightmove shows that modest growth across London has pushed the average value to a new high of £650,000. In the past twelve months the average home in the capital has added just 0.9% to its price. Some areas have done much better than this though.

The Borough that recorded the best performance in the period is Barnet. House prices in the area have grown by 10%, pushing the average to £738,000. This has put the area leaps and bounds ahead of its competitors. The second placed Borough is Barking and Dagenham with growth of 5.8%.

Barnet has definitely become one of the most popular areas in the capital. It offers the perfect suburban feel whilst also providing a myriad of attractions and good transport links to the centre of the city. Peaceful, tree-lined streets are great for families and professionals who want to be able to get away from the hustle and bustle of the inner city.

The high demand is pushing prices up as can be seen in Rightmove’s house price index. The popularity is expected to continue, with more and more people opting for this suburban part of North London over established areas in more central areas.
