| Description: | Lots to buy here. Many investors are here because of the strong demand for good rental properties. It’s a cheaper (but not that cheap) alternative to St Johns Wood and attracts the better-off professional say in his/her mid thirties. Corporate lets are not uncommon. Speak to agents in the area about corporate lets. Some blue chip companies are looking for nice flats on long leases (up to 5 years in some cases). The roads are quite spacious and there are lots of flats for sale. The prices quoted at the bottom end are rare. Most 1 bed flats falling in to the £200k - £300k price bracket. Your money is safe here due to its location. Its right next to the oh so expensive Little Venice, its near enough to the £500m investment in to Paddington, its got a great tube link in to Oxford Circus and its right next to the A40. Speaking to agents there is high demand for neutral décor flats with high standard bathrooms and kitchens in Little Venice, which neighbours Maida Vale. Flats are going within hours of them coming on to the rental market. | ||||||||
