Central London rental market

[ladymuck]

The OP is talking about renting. Why all the speculation about buying?

I live near Earls Court.

Parts are dodgy, parts are nice and therefore priced accordingly. Much like anywhere really.

What specifically do you want to want to know?

Longridge Road. With the road and the details above a quick search should point you to the right direction.
it does not seem to be the best street especially with the budget hotels around, but for my offer I believe should be a good deal.
Please feel free to share anything that passes through your mind.

Hotels are very cheap at the moment in London, too bad the VAT on accommodation has gone down, so less to claim back

I would expect the overall cost of the room to be lower rather than the hotel pocket the difference.

Just did a quick look on OnTheMarket for studios within half a mile of Earl's Court station. I see what you mean about availability. I'd be inclined to go north of Cromwell Road or east of Earl's Court Road. That's not a hard and fast rule as I don't know the quality of studio accommodation in the area. I currently rent a 2-bed flat that's approx 928 sq ft and my landlady is great - issues are fixed really fast and she's kept my rent frozen for the past 4 years.

Totally agree with your approach to do a walkabout the streets to see how you feel about them.

I’m on holiday this week, we went to see a luxury flat in Giffnock near Glasgow 8 times the size of my London flat with massive sunny balcony for £400 a month cheaper than London flat - if never returning to London office then why not indeed

I’m thinking Spain now [emoji4]

You might want to leave sharpish .....

... luxury flat in Giffnock near Glasgow ...

Now there's some words I never thought I'd see in such close proximity to each other!!!

[northernladyuk]

Don't be ungrateful at least its a roof over your head, NLyUK has her old man down the docks flat out in the sea spray!

That's not sea spray.

[vetran]

That's not sea spray.

ROFL!

You need a buyer when you wish to move though and at times Studio apartments have been impossible to sell.

why is that? surely in a recession people want to lower their expenses.
