The young adventurers of the 4th Enfield Scouts have recently demonstrated their mettle by conquering one of the most formidable hiking challenges in the scouting calendar—the Chiltern 20 Challenge. This annual event, set against the picturesque yet demanding backdrop of the Chiltern Hills, tests the scouts’ navigation skills, teamwork, and endurance.

This year, two spirited teams from the 4th Enfield Scouts took part, with participants ranging from 10.5 to 14.5 years old. The challenge was divided into two routes: a junior route spanning approximately 10 kilometres, and a main event covering a grueling 20 kilometres. Armed with only a map and compass, the scouts navigated through checkpoints and tackled the varied terrain with commendable determination.

The junior teams approached the shorter route with boundless energy and enthusiasm, embodying the true spirit of scouting. Meanwhile, the older scouts in the main event displayed impressive resilience, overcoming both physical and mental hurdles to complete the course. For many, this was their inaugural experience in such a demanding event, making their achievement all the more remarkable.

At Peter Cuffaro Estate Agents, we take immense pride in supporting local initiatives and celebrating the achievements of our community’s youth. The dedication and perseverance shown by the 4th Enfield Scouts are truly inspiring and reflect the vibrant spirit of our local area.

Enfield’s badminton team has made a smashing success at the Better Club Games, often dubbed the “Olympics for older people.” This spirited event saw Team Enfield soar to sixth place overall out of 22 competing local areas, with the badminton squad clinching first place in their category.

Organised by GLL, Enfield’s leisure centres contractor, the Better Club Games is a celebration of athleticism and community spirit. This year, a record-breaking 1,000 participants gathered at the iconic Copper Box Arena in East London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The event, now in its 19th year, coincides with the International Day of the Older Person, promoting physical activity, mental wellbeing, and social connection among older adults.

Team Enfield’s athletes shone across nine sports, including swimming, walking football, netball, pickleball, and short tennis. Yet, it was the badminton team that truly stole the show, demonstrating skill, teamwork, and determination. Their triumph is a testament to the vibrant community spirit and the excellent facilities provided by Enfield’s leisure centres.

Enfield Chasers Running Club, established in 2023 by two enthusiastic neighbours, has swiftly become a beacon of community spirit in the Enfield area. Born from a simple conversation, the club was never intended to be a high-pressure, performance-driven group. Instead, its founders envisioned a welcoming, consistent space that would be deeply rooted in the local neighbourhood.

The club’s mission is refreshingly straightforward: to use running as a means to unite people. It all began with Wednesday social runs—free, inclusive, and more about forging connections than tallying miles. This approach has resonated with the community, leading to a flourishing group of over 250 runners in their WhatsApp group and 150 affiliated members. The club’s calendar is now brimming with diverse community events.

From ‘Couch to 5K’ programmes to volunteering days, time trials, tree plantings, pub socials, and even an annual Christmas lights run, Enfield Chasers has created a vibrant tapestry of activities. The club’s philosophy is simple: provide a reason for people to gather, make them feel welcome, and watch as positive outcomes unfold.

For those in Enfield curious about running or simply seeking to meet like-minded individuals, Enfield Chasers Running Club extends a warm invitation. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with the community and experience the joy of running in a supportive group.

Enfield Council has approved groundbreaking plans for Surf London, paving the way for the capital’s first inland surfing lake at the Lee Valley Leisure Complex. The project, announced on 24th September 2025, represents a transformative investment in family-friendly recreational facilities that will establish Enfield as a premier destination for active families seeking innovative leisure opportunities.

Led by Crest Experiences, renowned for creating Bristol’s successful inland surfing destination, the development will transform part of the Lee Valley golf course into a state-of-the-art artificial surfing lake. This ambitious project promises to create up to 200 jobs whilst boosting the local economy and positioning Enfield as a unique surfing destination for visitors from across London.

The comprehensive development extends far beyond surfing facilities, incorporating major upgrades to the entire Leisure Complex that will benefit families throughout the borough. Plans include a new park alongside an extensive activity zone featuring a sports court, parkour area, purpose-built cycling track, and skate bowl, creating diverse recreational opportunities for children and teenagers.

Additional family-focused amenities include a new clubhouse with café, shops, and wellbeing areas, plus innovative camping accommodation with dedicated play spaces. These facilities complement Enfield’s existing network of over 20 parks and playgrounds, four leisure centres, and cultural attractions.

Cabinet Member for Environment and Placemaking, Councillor Sabri Ozayddin, emphasised the project’s significance for local families, stating that this investment will bring “new leisure facilities for local families and residents” whilst offering “a unique attraction unlike any other borough in London.”

The development demonstrates Enfield’s commitment to providing exceptional recreational infrastructure that supports active family lifestyles. The combination of innovative facilities creates compelling opportunities for families seeking properties with outstanding leisure provision.

Recent analysis of London’s buy-to-let market has positioned Enfield as a standout performer for property investors, with the borough delivering some of North London’s highest rental yields at 5.8%. This exceptional performance, highlighted in comprehensive September 2025 market research, demonstrates why savvy investors are increasingly focusing their attention on this North London location.

The Edmonton and Enfield corridor, encompassing postcodes EN3, N9, and N18, consistently delivers solid yields between 5.2% and 5.7%, significantly outperforming many premium Central London areas. With average property values of £374,008 requiring a 30% deposit of £112,202, Enfield presents accessible entry points for investors seeking strong returns without the premium pricing associated with inner London postcodes.

Market forecasts for 2025 predict continued growth, with family homes in Enfield’s leafy suburbs expected to achieve 2-4% price appreciation. This capital growth potential, combined with robust rental demand, creates compelling dual-income opportunities for property investors. The borough’s appeal stems from its successful balance of suburban tranquillity and excellent transport connectivity.

Rental demand remains exceptionally strong, with approximately 18.9% of properties in the rental sector and average monthly rents reaching £1,656. This sustained demand reflects Enfield’s unique positioning as an affordable alternative to Central London whilst maintaining superb transport links and abundant green space that appeals to quality tenants.

The borough’s diverse housing stock provides investors with varied portfolio options to match different tenant demographics and investment strategies. Government initiatives continue to support the rental market, ensuring stable regulatory environment for landlords.

We specialise in identifying prime investment opportunities within Enfield’s dynamic rental market, understanding how location-specific factors influence both rental yields and capital appreciation. Our expertise encompasses market analysis and regulatory compliance, ensuring investors maximise returns whilst maintaining excellent tenant relationships.
