Lettings In London Are Hot!

By Frank Johnes


Many people coming to London are taking advantage of the property lettings that have suddenly become very popular. How nice it would be to fly to London and stay in a leased home rather than a hotel, where you can have all the comforts of a home.

Not only do you have all the comforts of home but you can really get a real feel of how the British live and what the houses are like, it's an amazing experience. The rental properties have become extremely popular and many people in London who are leasing their homes are making quite a bit of money.

Most of the London residents that have chosen this option have waited quite some time for their house to sell and it hasn't. Therefore they chose to become landlords for the extra income. This is resulting in London having trouble keeping up with the demand for the letting of homes

These leased homes are located in a prime area of London ensuring you won't miss a thing. When visiting London you will obviously want to do and see all you can and so don't want to be far away from the sights. You don't have to worry about wasting time travelling when leasing a London property as they are usually in some of the most prime locations. By selecting a London estate agent and discussing your needs they will find an appropriate property for you in your price range.

If you are looking to lease a flat or home make sure you go through a reputable management company. Some private sector landlords have been known to have poor conditions. Not only are they providing poor conditions but they are raising rents to incredible rates. Using an established London estate agent will eliminate this risk.

Another reason for the decline in people wanting to buy homes is the tough mortgage criteria you need to meet. Not only this, but you also have high housing prices and the need for a sizeable deposit for a home. Many are experiencing financial difficulty during this recession.

If you are the owner of the property to lease there are some tax advantages for you. The guidelines are easily accessible on the Internet for you to follow. These tax advantages are important to take advantage of and if your property is used as a short term letting you are able to deduct certain expenses. You would be able to claim furnishings, refrigerator, washing machine etc.

If you are looking to lease property in London it is best if you go through a management company versus a private person leasing their property. It will help you avoid problems down the road. Do your research and go with a reputable management company so you can avoid problems.
