Buying in Enfield
The North London Borough of Enfield, 10 miles from Central London, offers a quiet lifestyle while being close enough for the daily commute. Rich in history and with acres of green space, Enfield attracts young families and city workers who like the ‘small town’ life.
Enfield is competitively priced in London and offers a mix of Victorian houses, modern flats and 1920s/1930s terraced houses. New housing developments include Wellington House opposite Enfield Cricket Ground, Elements (part of the regeneration of the Alma Estate) and Trent Park, a 56-acre park redevelopment including the Grade II listed Trent Park House.
Average property values in Enfield stand at £474,445 according to Rightmove figures, which is cheaper than nearby Haringey, Barnet and Islington. Most property transactions last year involved terraced properties.

FAQs
- Should I choose a RICS HomeBuyer Report?
-
If you are considering the purchase of a modern flat, house or bungalow of conventional construction, and the property appears to be in reasonable condition, a mid-range RICS HomeBuyer Report will usually be the right choice. For older and historic properties, non-standard buildings and large houses that need (or have undergone) significant alterations or repair, we would usually recommend a full RICS Building Survey.
- Is it enough to have an estate agent’s valuation of the property?
-
It depends on what you are trying to achieve. Estate agents estimate the current market value based on their experience and knowledge of the local area, with the sole purpose of marketing the property for sale. All other purposes – tax planning, divorce proceedings, insurance matters, probate purposes etc – require a formal building valuation by a RICS qualified valuer/surveyor who will follow a professional process to arrive at a technically accurate and factually supported value.
