Clocks went back recently, poppies are appearing on lapels, and Bonfire Night is around the corner. In Finchley, our experience is that buyer enquiries typically pick up in early November as families aim for a New Year move. At David Harris & Co, we are local estate agents, who live and love Finchley, so we’re always here to assist you with whatever move you wish to make.
Here’s the state of play locally — plus what’s on in and around N2, N3 and N12 over the next few weeks
Micro-market snapshot: N2 · N3 · N12 (sales)
N2 — East Finchley
We’re seeing steady buyer interest for period terraces and 1930s semis off the High Road, with well-finished two-bed conversions around the Phoenix Cinema/Cherry Tree Wood corridor drawing first-time movers. Rightmove’s Finchley averages (2 Nov 2025) give a handy sense-check: flats at £421,538, terraced houses at £791,052, and semis at £989,826. In N2 specifically, proximity to East Finchley station, quiet streets, and good light/loft potential are pushing best-in-class homes above those benchmarks, while doer-uppers are trading a shade under.
N3 — Finchley Central & West Finchley (Church End)
Family buyers dominate here. The classic N3 recipe — 3–4 bed 1930s semis between Finchley Central and West Finchley — maps neatly to the semi-detached average of £989,826. Houses with open-plan kitchens, south-facing gardens, and easy station/school access are still attracting multiple viewings in week one. Smaller period terraces and maisonettes are calibrating to the £791,052 and £668,293 overall benchmarks, with premiums where parking and turn-key condition line up.
N12 — North Finchley & Woodside Park
Around Tally Ho Corner you’ll find a broad mix: purpose-built flats close to the high street and 1930s family houses heading towards Woodside Park. Flats priced around the Finchley average of £421,538 are seeing briskest uptake when they offer lift access and outside space; three-bed semis near the Northern line start from the £989,826 reference point and move fastest when the layout already suits modern family living. Proximity to Victoria Park is a reliable value signal.
How we read these numbers
Sold prices across Finchley have tracked broadly level year-on-year and sit roughly 5% below the 2021 peak of £701,752. We use the Rightmove benchmarks to set expectations, then fine-tune by street: station walkability, garden aspect, energy performance, and scope to extend routinely shift outcomes. If you’re weighing a sale or purchase, we’re happy to give a street-level appraisal with recent comparables in your pocket.
Events in Finchley this November
While there is a lot to be said for staying indoors in November, there’s a number of important events taking place locally this month.
Remembrance Service — Finchley Memorial Hospital
Finchley Memorial Hospital, Granville Road, N12 0JE — Friday 7 November 2025, 10.30am
We’ll be joining neighbours to pay our respects at the hospital’s war memorial. If you’re attending, aim to arrive a little early — it’s a popular community gathering and parking on Granville Road can be tight.
John Etheridge
The Elephant Inn, Finchley, 283 Ballards Lane — Sunday 16 November 2025
A treat for music lovers: renowned English jazz guitarist John Etheridge returns to this much-loved Ballards Lane pub for an intimate Sunday session.
Finchley Choral Society — November Concert
St Mary the Virgin Church, Primrose Hill, London, NW3 3DJ — Saturday 22nd November 2025, 7:30pm
Our local chorus heads just south to Primrose Hill for a beautifully varied programme: Kodály’s Missa Brevis, Lili Boulanger’s Vieille Prière bouddhique, plus selected works by Ravel and Tchaikovsky. A lovely chance to hear Finchley’s singers in a resonant, historic setting.
