The London property market is fast and competitive : a good property goes in under 24 hours. Knowing the types of tenancy and the common pitfalls gives you a real head start.
Renting a furnished flat in London
In London, almost all rentals are furnished : beds, sofa, appliances, everything is there when you arrive. This is standard for a 6 to 24 month lease, ideal if you are arriving without furniture.
House shares in London
House sharing (flatshare) remains the fastest way to reduce your housing budget, especially in central neighbourhoods. It means sharing a lease with other tenants or renting a room in an already occupied property, with its own rules on use and deposit.
A tailored property search
Beyond online listings, our network of local agents gives us access to properties before they are published. We filter based on your real criteria (neighbourhood, budget, transport) and arrange viewings, remotely or in person.
Lease review and support
A British tenancy agreement contains clauses that do not exist in France : break clause, a deposit protected by an official scheme, a detailed inventory. We review every clause before you sign to avoid any bad surprises.
