Short term lets – the advantages of short let property

There are many reasons why you might need short term accommodation, from business relocation to attending a cultural, business or sporting event. Alternatively you could  require somewhere to live while your home is being refurbished or repaired.

In many cases, people opt for hotel accommodation for short term purposes. However, there are several pluses to choosing a short term let in London.

Why move into a short let property?

Here are just some of the advantages:

• A home, not just accommodation – living in a hotel soon gets tiring, and you find yourself longing for privacy and a degree of permanency. 
• More cost-effective – a short term let can be from as little as a week, and while more expensive than a long let, will often be much cheaper than a hotel in the medium term. 
• Your own space – however nice a hotel room  may be, your own home allows you to spread out, especially if your partner or family is with you. It’s also much easier and more pleasant for when friends or relatives come to stay.
• A true Londoner – if only for a while, you can experience life as a local and really get to appreciate life in perhaps the greatest capital city in the world.

Why let out your property for a short term let?

For landlords too, there are big advantages in choosing short term lettings:

• Flexibility – a standard tenancy ties up your property for six months to a year. If you’re thinking of selling your property or have regular short-term tenants, opting for short term lets makes sense.
• Finance – a short term let brings you more money than a standard let, thanks to supply and demand (short let properties in London are scarce). 
• Good tenants – most short let tenants are corporate, and nearly all are mature and well-off. This makes for trustworthy, responsible tenants. 
• Rental guarantee – corporate clients are dependable, as their accounting departments are set up to make consistent, regular payments.
