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. Areas below the London dataset average of £524k get a head start.
Ranked from Boroughly's London dataset of 278 areas. Prices are postcode-district medians of HM Land Registry recorded sales; safety is a relative rank of police.uk recorded crime; rents and other scores are indicative - 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 London areas against them.
