Shepherd's Bush History

Shepherd's Bush Common is an ancient piece of common land indeed the first recorded use of the name Shepherd's Bush was in 1635.It is believed to have got its name because shepherds used it as a resting place on the way to Smithfield market.

The area is also steeped in historical infamy. Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England, narrowly escaped assassination at Shepherd's Bush in January 1657 when Miles Syndercombe planned to spray his coach with fire from a primitive machine gun. The plot failed and Syndercombe was sentenced to be hung, drawn and quartered. This acted spurred on the development of certain aspects of Shepherd's Bush and by 1701, there were gallows installed at the eastern end of the Common. Today a giant barometer stands in its place.

Charles Dickens also became involved in the history of Shepherd's Bush when he unveiled a plan to build a rehabilitation centre for prostitutes at Shepherd's Bush in 1846. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the home, Urania Cottage, until 1862 when a scandal over the separation from his wife forced him to sever the link.

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.
