Islington

Islington is located directly outside of the city centre of London. Just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of London to enjoy the calm nights, while close enough to take in all that the city has to offer on a daily basis. Reaching London from Islington takes only a tube ride, but driving is also only a short commute.

Due to the close nature of Islington to London, this community has been founded as more of a residential community than some of the suburbs further outside of the city. The housing in Islington is a combination of apartments, flats and single family homes. Young professionals have flocked to Islington in recent years thanks to the completion of the Angel tube station.

The flats in Islington are in high demand so you will need to work with a mortgage company that is quick and efficient. There is nothing worse than finding just the right flat in Islington, only to lose that home due to a slow mortgage process. The mortgage market is stricter today than ever before and that means you will need to have all of the paperwork in order before finding that home. Securing the mortgage for the estimated price and beginning the approval process before the move needs to occur will keep that dream home within reach.
