Lettings Agents in Clapham: Lettings in London SW4

Clapham was originally a small hamlet in the early 19th Century. The area now has two main assets: Clapham Common and excellent transport links into Central London and the City from Clapham Junction. Properties in this area range from splendid Georgian and Regency homes surrounding the Common to Victorian terraced houses and conversion apartments. Shops and restaurants can be found on Abbeville Village and Clapham Old Town.



History of Clapham

Clapham dates back to Saxon times, specifically a settlement known as "Osgod Clapha". The settlement was small and it didn't expand much further than hamlet size for some while. The Common provided grazing for farm animals then, and was still being used for this purpose until the beginning of the 20th century.

The land around Clapham was fairly marshy, and this limited development in the middle Ages. By the 17th century highwaymen were a common sight on the Common, stealing as much money as they could from passing stagecoaches.

Clapham started to expand at the end of the 17th century, as the Fire of London led to many homeless north Londoners arriving. Prostitution became big business, even though the women involved for the most part avoided the Common.

Clapham Junction station was constructed in the 19th century, and industry grew up around this part of the borough. Industry brought in more workers, and so housing development occurred as a result of this.

The 20th century didn't really see that much more development. Today Clapham is a popular residential district, with a thriving atmosphere. Clapham has become popular with young professionals, particularly those with children, and the area around Old Town, the High Street and Abbeville Road has been transformed by the cinema, bars, restaurants and shops.

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.
