Letting in NW5

What to know before you let in NW5.

One station with two lines, a 1930s lido and two councils. Here's what that means when you compare agents.

Northern line and Thameslink

Kentish Town station serves the Northern line's High Barnet branch and Thameslink. The Tube side reopened in December 2024 after 18 months of escalator works, so the full interchange is back in use.

Parliament Hill Lido

The Grade II-listed lido opened in 1938 on Gordon House Road, next to Gospel Oak Overground station, and is run by the City of London Corporation. NW5 runs from the Heath to Kentish Town Road, so ask agents for recent lets on your own street.

Camden or Islington

NW5 is split between Camden and Islington, and the Islington part is on the Tufnell Park side. Each council runs its own licensing, so check which one covers your address before you let or switch agent.

Questions

Letting agents in NW5, explained.

How much do letting agents charge in Kentish Town?

Across London, the agents we checked publish full-management fees of 12% to 20.4% of the rent including VAT. We don't have a separate figure for NW5, so your report shows the published fees of the agents that cover your address.

Does this page cover Dartmouth Park and Gospel Oak?

It covers Dartmouth Park and the NW5 part of Gospel Oak. The rest of Gospel Oak is in NW3, which has its own page.

Do I need a licence to let in NW5?

It depends on whether your address is in Camden or Islington. Each council runs its own schemes, so check that council's rules for your exact address before you let or switch agent.

Should I still pay a renewal fee?

Ask what the fee actually buys. Since 1 May 2026, tenancies roll on from month to month, so a fee for renewing a fixed term may have nothing left to attach to. Compare what each agent charges once a tenancy is running.
