Love London: Tips for letting property in Canary Wharf

Canary Wharf letting tips

The lettings market in Canary Wharf is very competitive and can move quickly, so it’s vital to know the best way to appeal to potential tenants when letting your property. Here are five top tips for letting a property in Canary Wharf.

1. Do you have parking space? If so, be sure to let any potential tenants know when they’re viewing the property. The majority of new build developments in Canary Wharf do not offer vehicle parking with one- or two-bedroom apartments, so this is a real advantage and will make your property stand out from the crowd.

2. If you have a balcony or terrace, be sure to show it off. After working in the busy business environment of Canary Wharf, tenants will want to make the most of any outside space, especially with the fantastic river views the area offers.

3. If your property includes a concierge service, sell this as an added feature. Many of the Canary Wharf crowd just work, work, work, so knowing that there is a trusted lookout who can take in deliveries is invaluable.

4. Does your property come with the added benefits of a gym? If so, for viewings, leave out any information on facilities, timetable and availability. After a hard day at work, prospective tenants like to have the opportunity to de-stress without another commute.

5. Are pets welcome? If your building accepts pets be sure to let any prospective tenants know. Some tenants are looking for a home for their pet as well, and with only a small portion of developments within Canary Wharf allowing animals, this could be your number one selling point.
