What it costs to rent in NW9
Start with the numbers, because under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 the marketing price a landlord sets on day one is, in practical terms, the rent for the life of the tenancy. There is no bidding above the asking rent and no rent-in-advance premium, so the advertised figure is the figure. The homes we manage in NW9 currently sit at around £1,600 to £1,650 per calendar month, the live range on our Where our properties are page, among the most affordable in our book. For that you get genuinely new apartments with concierge, gym and landscaped grounds, a specification that costs far more a few zones in.
The other half of the read is timing. Our valuation method draws on three years of Rightmove and Zoopla listing-and-enquiry data: August carries the highest enquiries-to-listings ratio of any month, the third and fourth weeks of a month out-perform the first two, and a Monday-morning launch beats the rest of the week. The Four Week Rule, that advertising too far ahead of the available date destroys prime position, is the most common landlord mistake. See our New-Build Specialists page and The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 for the method.

The people we house
Who Colindale suits
Colindale suits people who want the most new-build flat for their money. First-time renters and young professionals get a modern, amenity-rich home at a rent that leaves room to save; families get the space and the landscaped grounds that inner London cannot offer at the price; and Northern line commuters get a direct run into the City and the West End. The large managed developments, with gyms, concierge and gardens, give a lifestyle usually associated with far dearer postcodes. For overseas applicants we run the whole process remotely, with Mandarin-language support via our China Desk.
Beyond the postcode
Living here: parks, the reservoir and the RAF Museum
Colindale’s amenity has grown with its housing. The large developments bring their own landscaped grounds, gyms and convenience retail, while the Welsh Harp reservoir offers open water, sailing and a nature reserve nearby. The RAF Museum London sits on the old aerodrome, and local parks and the green corridors around the reservoir give families and runners real outdoor space. It is a practical, improving suburb where the day-to-day amenity continues to catch up with the pace of new building.
Schools & study
Schools, universities and family life
Barnet has a strong reputation for schools, and the larger, more affordable flats make NW9 a sensible choice for families. Middlesex University’s Hendon campus is close by, and the central universities are a direct Northern line ride away. The reservoir, the parks and the developments’ own grounds provide the green space that makes the area workable for family life.
