How do I find a Short Let Apartment Rental in London
The quickest way to find short term rentals in London is to narrow down the options by selecting a neighbourhood, thinking about how much you can spend and working out what the most important amenities or facilities you need are to be comfortable.
Our specialists are experienced at searching and sourcing the best options at the lowest rates for a wide range of budgets and specifications, so if you need expert help, get in touch.
Location
Start by researching local neighbourhoods and choosing one or two locations that you would like to live in. Also consider if the areas are easy for your needs (i.e to travel to a place of work or meeting).
Budget
Working out how much you can spend on a weekly or monthly basis or what your company allowance is for your stay will make the search a lot easier.
Facilities
Apartments in London vary in property style and on-site facilities and amenities. No two apartments are alike and hence making sure you know what your top priorities are when it comes to facilities is key to finding the right place for your stay.
You may prefer to have a reception desk, twin beds, car parking space, a gym on-site, balconies or air-conditioning. Or you may also prefer not to stay somewhere with no lift.
What to check when you book a Short Let Apartment in London
These are some good pointers to check before confirming your booking to ensure you have a great stay and avoid any unecessary disappointment.
Layout
It is always a good idea to check the floorplan beforehand to get an idea of the layout of the apartment.
Be aware of apartments that do not have a lift, are situated on the lower ground floor or have internal stairs (i.e Mezannine floors or Duplex style).
Arrange a viewing
We would highly recommend arranging a viewing before confirming the booking especially if it is for a stay of 14+nights.
Viewing the apartment in person allows you to see first-hand the standard of the furnishings, check out the local neighbourhood, what the access to the property is like and also imagine what it will be like living there.
We can also arrange for virtual viewings for those who are unable to travel to the property for a viewing.
Terms and policies
Check all the terms including when payment is due (and what the arrangement is for monthly billing), what the security deposits are (is this taken as a card pre-authorisation or upfront payment) and what the cancellation and amendment policies including any fees that may apply.
