Boroughly > Best areas > Best London areas for first-time buyers
Balanced on the trade-off that actually matters when you're stretching for a first place: price against transport, with safety and buzz as tiebreakers. Everything here sits below the London average of £553k.
Ranked from Boroughly's dataset of 278 areas. Prices are median sold prices from HM Land Registry where sourced; scores are indicative composites - see how we source data. Use this to build a shortlist, not to make the final call.
This list weights the criteria one particular way. Yours will be different - a 40-minute cap on the school run, a must-have mosque, a hard budget ceiling. The map lets you set those and re-rank all 278 areas against them.
