Rent Apartments In London As An Alternative To Living At The Hotel

Probably, among those reading this line, there are few people who have never seen "grandmothers" at railway stations with signs "rent a room", "apartment", etc. With the development of the Internet in Russia, such proposals are gradually moving to the message boards. It may seem strange, but such services, which first appeared in the USSR during perestroika, have long been successfully offered in European countries, particularly in the UK, where apartment rent is very popular.

In fact, "renting an apartment" and "renting an apartment" are one and the same. Significant differences exist only in the specifics of the provision of this service in Russia and CIS countries and, for example, in the capital of the United Kingdom. Traditionally, in London, no one gives up the room or apartment in which he lives. The apartments are specifically designed for rent. And almost always this is done by specialized agencies. But in England this is the norm, unlike the usual "I'll take it without intermediaries" or "I'll rent it without intermediaries", here the agency's services are not just "wrapping up the cost", but a guarantee for the owner of the apartment and for the one who is going to rent it . Although in recent years the situation is changing, and even in the conservative in London, many began to rent their own apartment during the absence, mainly in order to recoup the high utility costs. Now, with the spread of the Internet, on British bulletin boards you can find and suggestions for renting apartments "from the owners." But in such cases, foreigners who do not have a credit history or guarantor in the UK are required to make a full prepayment (short-term apartment rental), and six months in advance in the case of a long-term lease.

By the level of services provided and, of course, at a cost, the choice of apartments is very wide. Typically, the minimum cost of "apartment rental in London" for a more or less habitable one-room apartment starts from 100 pounds a week. Pay attention to this feature - traditionally in London there are very few familiar offers of "apartments for rent", however, many companies, such as AB Business Solutions, operating on the Russian-British market for more than 17 years, also provide such services. In general, a short-term, and therefore more expensive, rent is from 7 days to six months, with a weekly prepayment. And more than six months - a long-term lease, the cost of which is much lower - up to 30%.

So what are the advantages of renting an apartment compared to living in a hotel?

In most cases, this is a trivial financial savings, which becomes very noticeable in two cases - when you travel a large company or decide to stay in London for more than 14 days. In the first case, the savings are due to the fact that the cost of renting an apartment does not depend on the number of people living in it. In the second case, you can significantly save on services (the same breakfasts), because The cost of living in a hotel room is higher than renting an apartment. But here already "the taste and color of a friend is not." Someone prefers not to take care of food and household issues, but someone, on the contrary, likes to cook and does not want to see hotel staff in their accommodation. For the first, it is preferable to live in a hotel, while for a second apartment rental in London is more likely. However, in the serviced apartments you can find such a level of service, when the differences from the hotel will only be that there is no breakfast and the opportunity at any time to call the reception, and cleaning and other services will be like in the hotel. Renting an apartment can be very attractive, if you are only interested in a certain area of the city.
