Stay safe in very hot weather

Very hot weather is expected for the next few days. A red heat-health alert (the highest level) is in place for London on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Hot weather can be dangerous and can cause serious illness. Stay safe and look out for others who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Read advice on GOV.UK

Cool spaces

There are local cool spaces that are free and open to everyone. Visit them to rest, drink water and stay cool. Find a cool space near you

Access Islington hubs 

North and South Access Islington hubs are closed due to the hot weather. The Central Hub is open for urgent, in-person support, until 4pm today (Wednesday 24 June) but avoid travelling unless it is essential. 

You can still access our services online and you can call us on 020 7527 2000 if you need to speak to someone.

Sell your property back to the council

Find out about selling your ex-council home back to the council and the benefits of selling to us.

We buy homes that were sold under the Right to Buy scheme to increase the amount of council housing in Islington.

Why sell to us

If you sell to us you can benefit from:

  • no chain (you do not have to wait for a buyer to sell first) and a quick sale
  • no estate agent fees
  • more security than selling on the open market
  • your sale helps provide homes for local people.

What we are looking for

We are looking for homes that:

  • have 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms
  • are empty (no one living there and no belongings left inside)
  • include the freehold, or where the council already owns the freehold

We decide whether to buy a property based on local housing needs and price. Homes with higher prices may not be suitable.

You must pay any service charges and any outstanding and proposed major works that you have been told about before the sale is completed.

Contact us

To tell us you want to sell your home or ask questions or find out more, email us.
