Central London
Short-let management in Kensington
Kensington draws a steady, year-round audience. The museums, Kensington Gardens and the Royal Albert Hall keep demand from collapsing out of season the way it does in more purely business districts.
The property
What we manage in Kensington
Stucco-fronted terraces divided into flats, red-brick mansion blocks, and garden-square apartments. Period features are the selling point and the maintenance burden in equal measure: sash windows, high ceilings, older heating systems.
Who stays in Kensington
Families visiting the V&A and Natural History Museum, longer corporate stays, and international visitors who expect a certain standard of finish. Stays skew longer than the London average, which suits owners who would rather have fewer changeovers.
