Battersea is also know as "Little Chelsea" is immediately south of the River Thames from Chelsea and its proximity has made it an increasingly popular residential area. Battersea has wine bars and restaurants in abundance. There are a number of both private and public leisure facilities as well as the popular Battersea Park with everything from tennis courts to a children's zoo and floodlit games pitches. There is a large variety of property available in Battersea including modern riverside developments, imposing mansion blocks overlooking the Park and period family homes.

History of Battersea.

Battersea is an area of London lying on the south bank of the River Thames. Vaguely triangular in shape, its northern boundary is the Thames, as it runs first north-east, and then east, before turning north again to pass Westminster. Its north eastern corner is one mile (1.6 km) due south of the Palace of Westminster; the north western corner is demarcated by Wandsworth Bridge and Battersea tapers south to a point roughly three miles (5 km) from the north eastern corner and two miles (3 km) from the north west.

The area takes its name from the old village of Battersea, a island settlement on the Thames marked now, especially, by St Mary's Church. Battersea is mentioned in Anglo-Saxon time as 'Badric's Isle' and later 'Patrisey'. As with many former Thames island settlements, Battersea was reclaimed by the expedient of draining marshland and building culverts for streams.

In 1929, construction started on Battersea Power Station, being completed in 1939. From the late 18th century to comparatively recent times, Battersea, and certainly north Battersea, was established as an industrial area, with all of the issues associated with pollution and poor housing affecting it.

Industry declined and moved away from the area in the 1970s, and local government sought to address chronic post-war housing problems with large scale clearances and the establishment of planned housing. More recently, some decades after the end of large scale local industry, residential overspill from fashionable Chelsea, the borough across the Thames to the north, has changed the character of Battersea. Factories have been demolished and replaced with apartment buildings. Many of the council owned properties have been sold off. Many traditional working men's pubs have become more fashionable bistros.

London Short Term Lets

Most short lets are catering for holidays or business people working in this country on a short term basis. Business professionals are the ideal tenants for most people. Companies are often willing to pay handsomely for high quality properties in the right locations, as the alternative is hotel accommodation - usually much more expensive for an equivalent standard of accommodation. Some companies can even afford to supply cleaning, laundry, chauffeur and catering services for the tenants they are placing, due to the savings that they make over hotel accommodation.

Luxury Short Lettings

With the exception of holiday homes, where certain other factors come into play, high class exclusive homes dominate the short term letting market, with both flats and houses being popular. Not only are they generally high quality properties in upmarket areas, but the most successful are also presented with an attractive décor and furnished to a high standard. However, if your property does not fit this bill, it does not mean you won't be able to find a short term tenant. Excellent location, proximity to useful transport links, pleasant grounds or some other appeal can make your home attractive to certain tenants.

London Landlords

Short term lets can provide a lucrative source of extra income as they can generate anything from 15 to 50 percent more than rental prices under an assured shorthold tenancy. For this reason, some landlords actually prefer to let short term, hoping to find a series of tenants for a property, doing their utmost to minimise empty periods. This strategy can work for some properties in some areas, but it is risky, as your property has a good chance of lying empty between lets.

We currently act for some of the UK's largest property companies, banks and institutions and take a working partner approach. Our independence enables us to take a flexible approach and tailor our service to exacting client requirements.
