Property Market Overview

Who's buying? Families trading up for space and schools, City and King's Cross professionals, and long-term landlords.

Georgian terraces: Highbury Place, Highbury Terrace and Highbury Crescent are some of Islington's most sought-after addresses.
Victorian villas and conversions: spacious flats on Highbury New Park and Highbury Hill.
Highbury Square: apartments built around the pitch of Arsenal's old stadium.
Pricing: the average sale in N5 over the last year was around £872,000, with flats around £637,000 and terraced houses around £1.68m (Rightmove, October 2026). Prices sit below their 2023 peak, which is bringing buyers back.
Lettings: Highbury ward joins Islington's selective licensing scheme from 23 November 2026, so most private lets will need a licence. We handle the application for our landlords.
