Comments on: Counting Flats In London’s Prime Corporate Rental Areas http://www.royalsofrent.com/counting-flats-in-londons-prime-corporate-rental-areas Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:45:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Barry Manners http://www.royalsofrent.com/counting-flats-in-londons-prime-corporate-rental-areas/comment-page-1#comment-1949 Barry Manners Fri, 26 Sep 2008 06:34:47 +0000 http://www.royalsofrent.com/?p=992#comment-1949 Reduced recruitment and net job losses in the City are likely to impact more on E14 than further west, where the market is less dependant on the city (although greatly affected by it nonetheless). Buy to let landlords are also more vulnerable there as tenants face a choice of a dozen or so almost identical flats in a relatively new-build development. Alot of the new property coming on to the market is new stock - from owners not able or willing to sell. In terms of the actual numbers of flats being let and the total number actually occupied we're seeing modest growth on 2007 figures based on the total value of rents, from a sample size of around 1800 flats and houses currently let in London.
