Returning renters set to make the most of the longer evenings

  • Returning renters set to make the most of the longer evenings photo 1

Landlords should list properties early as renters eye up London moves, don’t underestimate the magnetic draw of the capital!


This weekend, the clocks go forward and we officially enter British Summer Time, house-hunters have been acting quickly to make the most of the longer days by booking in viewings after work.

Latest search figures from Rightmove suggest renters are eyeing moves to Zone 1 & 2 in London, with searches doubling in parts of South and South West London.

The top 10 latest rental hotspots are all located in Zones 1 & 2. Last year, eight of the top 10 were outside of Zone 2. With workplaces expected to reopen in the coming months once the vaccine programme is fully rolled out, professionals will be moving closer to their places of work to cut down on commuting times through adaptable, sustainable and active travel plans.

The reopening of sectors of the economy such as hospitality, leisure and retail will also be instrumental in attracting young professionals to the capital.

Sellers and landlords should now be putting their properties on the market as viewings pick up in the longer evenings. This will help sellers move up the ladder and offer landlords greater certainty in their returns.

Stephen Ludlow, Chairman at ludlowthompson says: “We expect to see a greater number of viewings as renters take advantage of the extra hour of daylight.”

“Taking a proactive approach to marketing a property can help landlords greatly, especially over the next few weeks. It can secure tenants and guarantee an income as the capital looks to get back to normal. This is particularly important in a competitive market.”

“The next phrase of opening up London’s businesses will be shifting from just homeworking to a hybrid model, combining remote work with collaborative office work. Statistics show that London’s aspirational tenants are responding by making a return to the capital.”

Emilio Z via Google reviews:

“I was extremely impressed with the Blackstock Road office. I now have excellent tenants and was provided with excellent professional and courteous service. I would have no hesitation in recommending ludlowthompson.”

Antony via Google Reviews:

“Ludlowthompson helped coordinate a major refurbishment of my property for letting and then found tenants to move in soon after. Always responds rapidly to emails and texts and will happily deal with outside contractors on your behalf. Invaluable!”
