Every month we ask each of our lettings branches across London to handpick their favourite let; a property that has let very quickly or has received an overwhelming response from prospective tenants. This December, our Hammersmith branch reports that one bedroom apartments at the popular riverside development, Fulham Reach have been receiving a lot of interest from corporate professionals and wealthy students.
This contemporary, tastefully presented one bedroom apartment at Brunswick House was let to a project management professional within a few days of being listed with us. The apartment benefits from an open plan layout, comprising a well-proportioned reception with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors introducing plenty of natural light and opening onto a private balcony. Properties with outside space are favoured by today’s professional tenants and continue to attract interest from individuals and couples. Even though some apartments with a terrace or balcony invariably come with a slightly higher rental, demand continues to outstrip supply in Hammersmith.
Discerning tenants also seek to buy into the lifestyle as opposed to just a place to sleep and residents at Fulham Reach, nestled on the North bank of the Thames yet only five minutes away from a good range of amenities, are spoilt for choice with access to a range of exclusive on-site facilities including 24 hour concierge, a swimming pool, well-equipped gym, landscaped communal gardens, wine cellar, golf simulator, Cineplex and spa. Some apartments take in direct river views that stretch across to the Grade II listed Hammersmith Bridge and naturally, these are highly sought-after.
Typical rentals at Fulham Reach:
One beds from £550 per week
Two beds from £750 to £850 per week
Three beds from £1,000 to £2,000 per week
Our Hammersmith branch opened on-site at the development in June 2015, and demand for smaller units cannot be met; the majority of existing tenants have renewed their tenancies exacerbating the supply crunch. We have tenants already in the pipeline for the two new phases Goldhurst House and Faulkner House that have recently completed but more stock is needed. We are always keen to speak to landlords with properties in the area who may be considering the lettings market.
Hammersmith has continued to attract corporate professionals owing to its strategic West London location between Heathrow and the City. Major global companies including Disney, General Electric and L’Oréal have their headquarters here. Local amenities include a selection of restaurants, cafes, bars, and several shopping centres. Hammersmith Underground station is a major transport interchange which offers excellent travel services across London via the Circle, District, Piccadilly and Hammersmith & City lines, while Heathrow Airport is accessible within half an hour.
