London Letting Agents: Short Term Lettings in London

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 rental strategy can work for some properties in some areas, but it maybe risky, as your property has a good chance of lying empty between lets. London City Lettings's property marketing ensures your rental void periods are kept to a minimum.

Short term letting, for a period of 3 months, can cover the costs of keeping the property whilst your estateagent tries to sell it. It covers the cost of your mortgage and certainly helps the appearance of the property. You'll still normally have to pay the council tax, as that is normally included in the rental price for the tenant. The rent also normally includes all other bills except the telephone. But you'll have less security worries and a short let helps maintain your household insurance policy (assuming letting is permitted), as some policies only allow a certain period of vacancy before the policy lapses.

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.
