Mayfair lettings agents: Lettings in London W1

Three hundred years ago, development first began in the streets and squares which nowadays lie between Oxford Street and Piccadilly. Mayfair was one of the first residential central London villages for the aristocracy and upper middle classes. Many foreign embassies were attracted to Mayfair and have settled in its three squares, Hanover, Berkeley and Grosvenor. The centre of Mayfair is the window shopper's paradise, with rows of the most elegant jewellery and exclusive designer shops in Bond Street and Saville Row. Park Lane, home to some of London's most prestigious, lies between the western border of Mayfair and Hyde Park.

Hyde Park dates back to the 16th Century and lies between Hyde Park Corner, Marble Arch and Lancaster Gate. The western edge of Hyde Park leads on to Kensington Palace Gardens. The park caters for a variety of activities in the 361 acres of park land from a quiet walk to horse riding, boating and swimming on the Serpentine, music on the bandstand, ball games on the open planes and entertainment in Speakers' Corner, a living monument to British free speech.

Mayfair W1

Mayfair extends east of Hyde Park, south of St. Marylebone, and north of Green Park. It is a fashionable district that includes the most important retail shopping activity in the United Kingdom.

From Oxford Street, the home of famous department store Selfridges and teenage shopping heaven TopShop, its main shopping concentration stretches southward along Regent Street and the Quadrant to Piccadilly Circus and then turns right (west) along Piccadilly; northward branches extend along Sackville Street and Savile Row, where eminent tailors make some of the world's finest men's clothing. Just alongside Burlington House is one of London's most luxurious shopping areas, the Burlington Arcade, which has housed shops under its glass-roofed promenade since 1819.

Parallel and a little farther west, Bond Street, with its long-established art auctioneers and exclusive boutiques and designer flagship stores, is a magnet for lavish spenders from around the world. Archaeological excavations at Mayfair have shown that the area was a junction of Roman roads, which has led some researchers to postulate that Romans settled the area before establishing Londinium (now London). Mayfair was developed from the mid-17th century and its proximity to St. James's Palace made it a fashionable neighbourhood.

Outstanding among Mayfair's museums and galleries are the Museum of Mankind, which is administratively part of the British Museum, and the 18th- and 19th-century Burlington House, which is the home of the Royal Academy of Arts (1768), the Royal Astronomical Society (1820), the British Astronomical Association (1890), the Society of Antiquaries of London (1707), the Linnean Society of London (1788), the Geological Society (1807), and other learned societies.

London Short Term Lets

Most short lets are catering for holidays or business people working in this country on a short term basis. Business professionals are the ideal tenants for most people. Companies are often willing to pay handsomely for high quality properties in the right locations, as the alternative is hotel accommodation - usually much more expensive for an equivalent standard of accommodation. Some companies can even afford to supply cleaning, laundry, chauffeur and catering services for the tenants they are placing, due to the savings that they make over hotel accommodation

Luxury Short Lettings

With the exception of holiday homes, where certain other factors come into play, high class exclusive homes dominate the short term letting market, with both flats and houses being popular. Not only are they generally high quality properties in upmarket areas, but the most successful are also presented with an attractive décor and furnished to a high standard. However, if your property does not fit this bill, it does not mean you won't be able to find a short term tenant. Excellent location, proximity to useful transport links, pleasant grounds or some other appeal can make your home attractive to certain tenants.

London Landlords

Short term lets can provide a lucrative source of extra income as they can generate anything from 15 to 50 percent more than rental prices under an assured shorthold tenancy. For this reason, some landlords actually prefer to let short term, hoping to find a series of tenants for a property, doing their utmost to minimise empty periods. This strategy can work for some properties in some areas, but it is risky, as your property has a good chance of lying empty between lets.
