London rental scene: our tenant advice

Rental prices in London vary depending on the location. We cover all zones, offering something for all budgets. If you value shopping, nightlife and a city buzz, Fulham and Highbury are good options. For grand properties in a quirky area close to Zone 1, tenants choose Camden. South of the river, Battersea, Clapham, and Dulwich are popular with families who seek properties with gardens, good local schools, and family-friendly activities. Tell us what’s important to you, and we’ll help you find the right area.

As a tenant, you’re liable as part of your tenancy agreement for accidental damage to the home and landlord’s fixtures, and your own possessions.

It has been such a pleasure to work with Mike. He has been proactive, helpful, and gone out of his way to make the whole process of letting a new flat very easy. From the viewing to making an offer, to the final stages of checking in, I’ve felt supported the whole way through and could always rely on Mike to communicate what I needed to know or be available for any questions. I wouldn’t have been able to find the property I wanted without his help, and I hope to work with him again in the future.
