Tired of Being a Landlord?
Property investment is an excellent vehicle for building wealth, providing income, and generating tax benefits. Becoming a Landlord, on the other hand can often become a tiresome, thankless "job" and that's not the desired outcome of any property investment. Having to deal with tenants who don't pay or damage your property is enough for an owner to deal with. Add to that the costs of maintenance, the paperwork, and keeping informed about the ever changing Landlord-Tenant Laws can put a property owner "over the edge".
If you're in the situation where the property needs repairs, loses money, or the tenants are troublesome, maybe it's time to move on. We can provide complete relief for all situations involving property rentals so you can quickly put this "burden" behind you.

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.
London City Lettings understands the needs of corporate and professional
landlords. 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. Our deep knowledge and many years of experience in
