Shall I let a flat in London as a whole or per room?
If you would like to let a flat in London – let’s say a 3 bed, you must have wondered “What shall I do? Shall I let my flat as a whole or rent it out per room? To answer your question we have analysed the latest figures realised in May 2014 by Valuation Office Agency. We have compared the average rental price of a 3 bedroom flat with the rent of a single room for all London boroughs. The map abelow shows our conclusions.
In a nutshell, if you have a 3 bedroom flat in Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster, Richmond upon Thames, Wandsworth, Lambeth, Tower Hamlets and Camden you are better off letting it as a whole; you might gain up to 43% more than renting each room individually.
