What is a short let? A short let is a property which can be let from a few weeks to a few months or even longer. Raine & Horne offer something that is in-between a hotel room and renting out your own property; they offer a "home-from-home" experience. Fully furnished and inclusive of all bills (excluding telephone) you can short let any type of property from a studio apartment to a 7 bedroom house.
Who might require a short let? The corporate tenant The majority of Short Let clients come from the corporate world. They may be looking for short- to medium-term accommodation for important visiting staff/management or to make the transition more comfortable for employees they are relocating to their London offices. The relocating tenant Individuals relocating to Australia or from elsewhere within the country may decide to try before they buy. Not wanting to restrict themselves to a six- or twelve-month tenancy agreement, they may wish for the flexibility of a Short Let to allow them to continue searching for a home to buy. The disaster recovery tenant Insurance companies often put people up in hotels while their homes are being repaired after a disaster. However, if a family is likely to be kept away from their home for an indeterminate amount of time, the insurance company may consider it less traumatic, and more financially agreeable, to re-house them in a Short Let.
Landlords, why consider Short-Letting your property? Financial benefit Short Lets can demand a greater rent than standard lets – the reason being demand and supply. Short Let properties are far rarer than standard let properties. The lower the supply, the higher the price a Short Let property can command. Also, as Short Let properties compete with directly with hotels, they can afford to raise their prices. Flexibility benefit You may not wish for your property assets to be tied up with tenants for six months to a year on a standard tenancy. Maybe you are thinking of disposing of your assets, or you have tenants of your own who holiday there each summer. Whatever your reason, a Raine & Horne Short Let is easily more flexible than a standard let. Tenant type benefit As a majority of Short Let clients are corporate, you can be assured of tenants who are at a level to be considered important to the organisation. Often this will mean people in a managerial position who are mature and make good, responsible tenants. Rental guarantee benefit Companies make far more reliable clients, as their accounting departments ensure a greater chance of rental payment consistency than would an individual.
