Pimlico Lettings Agents: Lettings in London SW1

The district of Pimlico runs south of Victoria down by the River Thames and is bordered to the west by Chelsea and to the east by Westminster.

A popular residential choice with a prevalence of white stucco-fronted houses, Pimlico is much quieter than its busy neighbour Victoria.

Lettings in Pimlico SW1

Pimlico offers a stylish, central location for those who don't wish to pay Belgravia prices. Flats and apartments dominate with family homes. Tall white stucco buildings offer grand accommodation. Ex-council blocks line the river next to Dolphin Square, which are rapidly changing to plush new portered developments.

A few streets are busy through-routes, yet a vigorously enforced traffic scheme ensures that the majority enjoy a quiet life.

History of Pimlico

Until the late 17th or early 18th century, Pimlico was known as Ebury or "The Five Fields". According to tradition, it received its name from Ben Pimlico, famous for his nut-brown ale. The name may also derive from a Spanish word for drink.

Millbank Prison (1816-1880) was the spot from which prisoners were transported to Australia.

By the 19th century, and as a result of an increase in demand for property in the previously unfashionable West end of London following the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London, Pimlico had become ripe for development. Thomas Cubitt was contracted to develop Pimlico in 1825.

As early as the latter half of the century, however, Pimlico saw the construction of several 'Peabody Estates' charitable housing projects designed to provide cheap, quality homes for the poor. In addition, in the post war period, several large public housing estates were built in the area on land cleared by bombing. Many of the fine Victorian houses were converted into bed and breakfasts and hotels.

In 1950, embarrassed by the slums and brothels with which Pimlico had become associated in the press and criminal courts, the Second Duke of Westminster sold the part of the Grosvenor estate on which it is built.

Now, as in Central London in general, Pimlico property prices are high, and the area is again fashionable. A large number of houses have once again been repurposed, being divided into one or two bedroom apartments intended for young professionals.

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.
