What can you afford in Islington?

Enter your household income and deposit to see the maximum you could realistically offer in Islington, plus the monthly repayment that comes with it.

Most UK lenders advance around 4.5× household income and expect a deposit of at least 10% of the purchase price. Your borrowing is then repaid over a term — typically 25 years — with interest charged on the outstanding balance each month.

Worked example for Islington: on the median MoveLane list price of £675,000, a 10% deposit of £67,500 leaves a £607,500 mortgage. At 4.5% over 25 years that is about £3,377 a month, and would need a household income of roughly £135,000. Stamp duty on that price would be about £23,750 for a home mover, or £23,750 as a first-time buyer.

Buying in Islington: a quick guide

Budget & affordability

The median MoveLane list price in Islington is £675,000. Most high-street lenders will offer 4–4.5× joint income, so as a rough guide you'd need combined earnings of around £156,977 and a 10–15% deposit to buy a typical home here.

Transport & commute

Check journey times on National Rail, TfL Journey Planner or your local operator before offering. Proximity to a station typically adds a 5–10% premium in Islington — factor that in when comparing streets.

Schools & catchments

Ofsted-rated primaries and secondaries move prices in Islington more than any other single factor. Verify catchment boundaries with the local authority before offering — they can change year to year.

Lifestyle & amenities

Walk the streets you're shortlisting at different times of day. Check high-street occupancy, parks, and how far you'd realistically travel for a weekly shop, gym or GP.

Yields & investment

To calculate gross yield in Islington: annual rent ÷ purchase price × 100. Net yield subtracts management fees, insurance, maintenance and a void allowance (typically 8% of rent).
