Certain areas in London are in demand internationally, what happens in the City is neitehr here no there.

I'll be renting out the house for £20K over the olympics, using the proceeds for a super luxury holiday.

Enjoy your bedsit in the Reich, loser.

sasguru is not the only council tenant to do this

If my house was anywhere near Olympics I'd charge £100k for a few weeks of rent of my mansion in Wandsworth!

HTH

Well, I plan to visit Olympics actually, and I sure as hell won't be renting out my home to some unknown people. Why? I don't have to.

Guess it's the other way around in your expensive neighbourhood with that massive "City" salary your sad permie job providers you with.

Your neighbours will probably be happy though, until you get back.

I guess if someone wants to stage a break in from Wandsworth HMP then hiring a nearby house to do the digging makes sense.

Like most limited IT dweebs, you fail to imagine anything outside your own sad situation. I feel sorry for you.

Knight Frank. They reckon I could get more if I was closer to the events. Will probably be a corporate renter apparently.

The 20K is net profit after insurance and agency fees. Agency will clean up and replace everything damaged from the massive deposit required.
I've got no worries.

HTH
