As June gets underway the corporate lettings market becomes increasingly busy.
This is due to two main factors: the financial year is now in full swing so relocation budgets have been allocated, while the academic calendar means families are seeking to settle into their new homes by September.
This is a great time for landlords to realise the potential of their rental investments but, similarly, tenants have also come to expect more from their homes.
As a result we have seen demand for high-specification properties rocket, and Richmond in particular with its excellent transport links and schools is seeing much of this activity. We have just brought one such property onto our books, a striking four bedroomed house on Richmond Park Road in East Sheen. This stunning home has an exceptional finish and has been exquisitely designed to cater to every specific need, from a top of the range open-plan kitchen and dining area to an immaculate landscape garden that can be accessed through French doors to the rear. Upstairs the two main bedrooms are each furnished with en suites, one of which hosts a large and luxurious whirlpool bath.
There is also a sizeable games room, while throughout well-placed skylights flood the home with natural light.
Ideal for any number of the many corporate tenants we see here, this imposing home would perhaps be best suited to a family relocating from overseas as it offers plentiful space and a lifestyle in-keeping with the genteel affluence that is the chief appeal of the Richmond area. Foxtons.co.uk/2318751 We let this four bedroomed Victorian house in Barnes on a short contract at 1,100 per week. The owners were delighted they were going overseas for a specified period and we managed to fit the tenancy perfectly around their schedule. We let this one bedroomed ground floor garden flat on North Avenue in Kew within just 24 hours of bringing it onto the market.
It was taken by a professional couple paying 1,400 per month for 12 months.
