A Rental case study in Holland Park, Kensington and Chelsea
Case study background and context
Securing a two-month rental proved difficult, as most landlords were unwilling to accommodate such a short duration. We had to reach out to numerous agencies, independent property owners, and to leverage our network. The best options were not publicly listed or available through inter-agency channels.
Property search criteria
- 4 to 10 bed
- Swimming pool and sauna
- Short let: 2 months
- Budget: £250,000 for 2 months
- Areas: Notting Hill, Holland Park, Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Kensington, Richmond
The challenge
Even with that budget level, finding a short-term rental for less than three months can be a challenge in central London.
Results and outcomes
We identified the perfect match through our network and skilfully negotiated the most favorable terms for the family, including assisting in the process of finding staff.
The key to success
The key to our success lay in having all the necessary resources and unwavering dedication to search tirelessly, leaving no stone unturned, until we found the perfect match.
