Our Most Viewed Homes in North London 2025

Now that the dust has settled on a manic December and we’re fully into the swing of 2026, it feels like the right moment to get down to business. At David Astburys, we’re firm believers that success leaves clues, so taking stock of the year just gone is key to understanding what’s working and where the momentum is heading.

The same applies to property. With Rightmove reporting a 10% increase in homes coming to market, stock levels at their highest since 2014, the base rate finally dropping in December, and first-time buyers feeling confident enough to make their move, the North London market is starting the year on a positive note.

So for those of you hoping to make a new home your New Year’s resolution, we’ve done the digging. By looking at the homes people couldn’t stop browsing on our website last year, we’ve mapped out a clear picture of what buyers are responding to right now. And if your North London home fits the bill, you could be well placed for a strong start to 2026.

#1 Redston Road, Crouch End, N8 

Starting incredibly strong, this four-bedroom family home on Redston Road was always going to be a crowd favourite. Turnkey, high-end, and offering over 2,400 square feet of living space, it’s exactly the kind of home buyers linger on.

Stripped back to brick and thoughtfully renovated with family life in mind, the layout works effortlessly. An open-plan kitchen and dining space flows naturally into a front-facing reception, while bi-folding doors open straight onto a wonderfully large private garden. Perfect for hosting, family gatherings, and keeping an eye on the little ones while you get on with things in the kitchen. 

Upstairs, there are four generous bedrooms, built-in storage throughout, en-suites to two of the bedrooms, and a well-appointed family bathroom. It’s a home designed to adapt, offering space to grow no matter what the next chapter looks like.

And the interiors deserve a mention too. Finished with real attention to detail, this is the sort of property you find yourself lingering over during a Rightmove scroll. Someone clearly agreed. Launched in September, under offer by October, and finishing the year as the most viewed home on the David Astburys website.

#2 Mayfield Road, Crouch End, N8

If there’s one thing us North Londoners love, it’s a home with character, and this apartment has it in abundance. Set within a striking Victorian Gothic church, it offers nothing short of god-given charm. It’s the kind of place you walk into after a long day, sink into the sofa, and catch golden hour filtering through the stained-glass window, enough to make you quietly thank the man upstairs.

Beyond the breathtaking church features, this home has been thoughtfully renovated throughout, with no detail overlooked. There’s a bespoke kitchen with marble worktops, built-in storage cleverly integrated across the space, and stylish bathrooms finished with black and brass details that feel both modern and timeless.

Everything has been considered internally, and externally it’s just as strong. Backing onto Stationers Park and moments from Ofsted-outstanding Weston Park Primary, it’s easy to see why this one became a firm local favourite.

#3 Pentonville Road, Islington, N1

We’ve moved to a different part of town now, pass go, £200 in your pocket, and you’ve landed on Pentonville Road. Why wouldn’t you buy?

Set within a beautiful Georgian townhouse, this apartment is the perfect step onto the North London property ladder. Floor-to-ceiling sash windows, open-plan kitchen and living, period features we love, modern bathrooms, wooden floors, and an unbeatable location with Angel and King’s Cross just around the corner.

Last year saw mortgage rates fall, more homes on the market than ever, and first-time buyers finally feeling confident enough to make their move. Across 1–2 bedroom homes under £500,000, there was a clear sweet spot for buyers ready to step onto the ladder, and this apartment hit it perfectly. 

And the garden? First-time buyers often compromise on outdoor space, so the communal garden here was a welcome bonus. Character, location, and a home that needs little more than a fresh coat of paint. this one ticked all the boxes. Little wonder it claimed the third spot in our most viewed homes of 2025.

#4 Ferme Park Road, Crouch End, N8 

Heading back to Crouch End, we’re now on Ferme Park Road. Huge road, huge community, and a real favourite for locals who want space to grow while staying in one of the area’s top school catchments.

Location-wise, it’s a sweet spot: close to Stroud Green in N4, yet just a hop from Rokesly and West End Park in N8, with Broadway never far away. You get all the charm of Crouch End living, with a little more wiggle room, enough to secure a home you’ll love without compromising on lifestyle.

The house itself doesn’t disappoint. Two bedrooms, a rare 19-metre garden (think barbecues, alfresco dinners, or just soaking up some sun), and a powered outhouse at the end ready to be an office, gym, or whatever your life needs. Inside, a beautifully renovated kitchen, two generous bedrooms with built-in storage, and a stylish bathroom finish off a home that really doesn’t miss once. It’s no surprise this one bagged the fourth spot on our most viewed homes of the year.

#5 Buckingham Road, De Beauvoir, N1 

Heading back to Islington, we’re firmly in the first-time buyer sweet spot—1–2 bedrooms under £500k, and this beautiful mews house did not disappoint. Steering away from the period charm we’ve seen elsewhere, this one is a modern homeowner’s dream. Set within a quiet gated mews development, the interiors are crisp and bright, with white walls, wooden floors, built-in wardrobes, and a brand-new kitchen and bathroom. It’s genuinely suitcase-ready—you just need to bring the essentials.

It’s no wonder this home has become a firm favourite with buyers looking to move without the cost or hassle of renovating. Location-wise, it doesn’t get much better than De Beauvoir. Ovanna Mews sits on a tree-lined street in the De Beauvoir Conservation area, just moments from bus routes along Balls Pond and Kingsland Road, offering quick access to the City and West End.

From spacious family homes over £1 million, to stylish two-bedrooms around £700k, and even the first-time buyer 1–2 bedroom sweet spots under £500k, the message is clear: no matter the market, North London remains a place people want to stay.
