Primrose Hill Lettings Agents: Lettings in London NW1

Primrose Hill lies to the north east of Regent's Park and is a much sought after area, due to its cosmopolitan village atmosphere provided by the main street Regent's Park Road, running through it which is flanked with small boutiques, bars and restaurants. The surrounding roads are lined with beautiful terraced houses, most of which have been converted into light and spacious apartments. There are two local pubs known London wide for their excellent food and warm ambience, The Engineer and The Lansdowne. With the centre of London 10 minutes away, living in Primrose Hill offers the best of both worlds.

Lettings in Primrose Hill NW1

Primrose Hill is a very pleasant up-market enclave lying at the foot of the Hill's open grassland, divided by the Regent's Canal as it wends prettily from Regent's Park to Camden Lock by the famous Camden Market.

It is a conservation area, chic and sophisticated, and well placed for access to the City and West End to the south, and Hampstead to the north.

History of Primrose Hill

The Hill was given its name; it is believed, from the primroses, which flourished there in the 17th century.

Until then the Hill had been covered by forest which was reputedly 'full of the lairs and covets of game, stags, boars and wild bulls' which the aristocracy hunted. But the trees were cleared in Elizabeth I's reign and over 100 acres of grassland were created, rolling down from the Hill's 206 ft high summit. The wildlife and the hunters were consigned to history. Today dog walkers, kite flyers, sunbathers and when the snow comes, tobogganers, have supplanted them.

The area was developed in the 19th century and is now an enclave away from the traffic that passes round it, or in the case of trains under it. Only the quietly beautiful Regent's Canal, which was cut in the 1820s goes through it - you can stand today and enjoy a procession of houseboats passing.

Fortunately, no one was allowed to build on the Hill itself that has remained a popular spot for picnics and outings for over 400 years, with people toiling to the top to enjoy magnificent panoramic views of London.

Primrose Hill is splendidly located. Hampstead, Belsize Park and Swiss Cottage are just to the north. Camden Town is to the east - and, beyond it, the City. Regent's Park is immediately to the south and, across it, the West End that many people actually walk to across the Park.

Primrose Hill has a parade of upmarket shops and restaurants at the northern end of Regent's Park Road.

Hampstead with all its shops, museums, galleries, restaurants, theatres, schools and lively nightlife is only a short distance away to the north and you can easily reach the Heath with its 800 acres of rolling grassland, trees, ponds, hedgerows and bog.

To the south is Regent's Park with its magnificent rose garden, London Zoo, open-air theatre, football pitches, tennis courts and boating lake.

To the east is Camden Town where you will find one of Britain's most famous street markets (you can walk to it from Primrose Hill along the towpath of the Canal), a profusion of nightclubs, and an abundance of restaurants.

In the northeast of the area at Chalk Farm, there is the Round House, once the turntable for trains running from London to the Midlands and North but latterly converted into a splendid theatre and arts centre.

While most of the housing remains Victorian there are quite a lot of modern houses, many built in the spaces created by the Luftwaffe in the Second World War as their bombs missed the railway terminals and main lines which pass through neighbouring areas.

Primrose Hill therefore now offers a wonderful mix of housing along broad and sweeping streets and around pretty squares. Being a conservation area, new development is strictly controlled.

It has become popular with the glitterati and people in the arts and media, as well as entrepreneurs and professionals, and local restaurants will often yield you the sight of a famous actor, designer, musician or even the occasional supermodel.

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.
