How a placement runs in London
A placement in London runs in five steps. We price against live comparable listings and submarket vacancy so the unit lists at a number that moves. We shoot and syndicate the listing where London renters search. We screen every applicant for credit, income, identity, eviction history, and landlord references. We present a short list of qualified candidates, not a pile of inquiries. Then we execute the lease and hand off a clean file. The London rental base, century homes in core, post-war single family, large student rental district near Western University, sets the marketing plan more than any template does.
