London Flats & Studios to Rent from Pimlico Flats – July/August

Studio

Studio

During July and August Pimlico Flats have a number of Studios becoming available. They are listed on our Available Page (see Menu Left), advertised on this Blog (see Advertising Panel Right) and of course advertised in the Property Portals through our account with Upad (see advert left). We have several of each type of property – 2 Bedroom Flats, 1 bedroom Flats, and Studios. Prices vary depending upon the property, the Studios from £1000 – £1250 pcm, the Flats from £1300 pcm. If a tenant has said that they wish to rent a flat and has left a holding deposit, we mark the listings as “Under Offer” pending taking references, and preparing the rental agreement. Once this process is complete the listing will be marked “Let” and left for a period.

Photographs of Pimlico

Last winter I stumbled across the most extraordinary photographs of Pimlico, and particularly a number of pictures very close to Pimlico Flats in Winchester St.. The photographer is David Goldenberg who very kindly gave me permission to use his photographs, and write this blog about his work. The picture that originally grabbed my attention is “Not Welcome”

Not Welcome

Not Welcome

A picture taken from the end of Winchester St. and shockingly to my mind portraying the street as a dour, cold, unpleasant place to live. I had to admire the clever and witty use of lighting to accentuate the street signs signalling “Not Welcome” – a dramatically contrasting image to the street that I was born in, know and love, and represent on our website as a warm affectionate place to live.

Having discovered David’s ability to shock with his photography, I explored the rest of his Pimlico Project in which he uses night photography to present a dramatic side to familiar landscapes within 100 yards of Pimlico Flats. Battersea Power Station is of course now a dead shell, yet David gives it life by transfering the buzz of the Victoria train sidings to it’s vista.

David is much kinder with his image of the Peabody Estate in his picture “I am the Light” which has been exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Each of those pictures links to David’s Flickr Stream, but the best presentation of his work is at his website where you can see further pictures of his Pimlico Project, and other projects that he has undertaken.

Pimlico Flats have Luckiest Address to Rent a London Flat

Pimlico Flats

Pimlico Flats

Pimlico Flats was originally called The Seventies because of the address of the houses 71, 73 75, 77, 79, and also because it was contemporary & witty when I thought of it in the 1970s.

In the new millennium we started trading as “Pimlico Flats” as the name is more informative about what we do. We are dedicated to providing quality affordable accommodation in London, & we are lucky to be based in one of the best locations in London – Pimlico. Now (according to the Daily Mail) we are not just in the best place in London, we don’t just offer the best quality in London, we aren’t just the cheapest in London, we are also ……

The Luckiest Flats in London!

According to Amanda Edwards, from AXA home insurance

‘It certainly seems that living in the block of numbers from 31-40 has historically been unlucky, whereas those living from 71-80 have been the most lucky.’

‘We suggest that everyone, no matter what number they live at, take the time to check they’re not creating their own bad luck through poor security or bad maintenance around the home.’

‘Many claims we see are not so much bad luck as bad risk management by the homeowner.’

Well maybe our 24/7 CCTV supervision, and 7 day supervision and maintenance contributes, either way our aim is that our tenants consider themselves the luckiest tenants in London.

Short Term Rental of London Studios

Who rents London Studios for short periods, and why?

Increasingly we have discovered that people are using private flats as an alternative to hotels. Whereas historically people would perhaps have a long term contract to stay in a Hotel or Bed & Breakfast for 4/5 nights a week before returning home, now it is far more common to rent a private flat with a break clause to allow the tenant to end the contract at a time of their choosing. The 1988 Housing Act introduced this option for Tenants (but not for Landlords) and it is increasingly used by professional workers in London on short term contracts to tailor their accommodation needs to their work requirements.

For the tenant in a private studio, compared to a hotel. There are advantages as follows:

  • No one will disturb your privacy (no room service or anything like that to worry about);
  • You keep your own set of keys, meaning you can come in and out at any time, without any restrictions;
  • You have your own private kitchen, where you can always make your own meal at any time;
  • Your own private washer dryer for laundering your clothes;
  • You have a 7 Day a week  use of the accommodation, useful for a city break or entertaining friends;
  • There is no need to take clothes and belongings home at weekends;
  • You have the same Studio each week so you can make your place home;
  • PRICE, saving 50-70% compare to average London hotel prices!

As you can see above, these are excellent reasons for you to choose a private studio rather than a hotel. Especially if you are travelling on a budget, if you’re a student, or you have a short term contract with an employer. Please enquire of Pimlico Flats about our weekly rates for Studio Accommodation.

Pimlico Flats CCTV System Trials Successful

Tenants may have observed our new CCTV system being installed this week.

CCTV in Pimlico

CCTV in Pimlico

The system is self monitoring (the cameras monitor themselves) and eventually will be available for anyone to view from the internet. Although Pimlico is one of the safest areas in London it will add an extra level of confidence to know that no visitors will be unrecorded, and will be of especial value to tenants leaving bikes on the pavement. I am especially keen to make our properties cyclist friendly.

Although the system is yet to be fully commissioned it has been running and amazingly has already caught a suspicious character loitering in the area. Here are some screenshots of the test monitoring, once the system is fully set up I will issue instructions on how you can monitor the output yourselves, and will probably put a feed onto the main website for public monitoring.

Bargain London Flats for Rent that are so cheap they won’t get Advertised

The clock tower of Big Ben at dusk. The north ...

We have 3 flats for rent which present outstanding opportunities to outstanding tenants. Bargain London Flats for Rent that are so cheap they won’t get advertised.

For someone who wants something central and cheap we have a bedsit for £420 pcm. It’s small (read tiny) with shared bathroom, but it does have a balcony and it’s in one of the greatest London locations that you could dream of. It’s pretty much a unique opportunity to rent in this location at this price.

We have a Flat Share opportunity – open to young girls only. We have a young doctor in training whose flatmate is moving on so she is looking for another young female professional to share her flat. Your share of the rent is £800 pcm which is an absolute bargain for such a spacious flat which has recently been modernised. Key to this is that you must sell yourself as the sort of person she would want to live with.

We also have some studios which we may advertise – £900 pcm & £1200 pcm from June, just tipping you the wink!

Pimlico Flats Newsletter – Free Internet Network

Pimlico Flats April Newsletter

New Carpet at Pimlico Flats

New Carpet at Pimlico Flats

The new entrance way and carpets are being finish, and the protective coverings are being removed as the builders leave site.

Unfortunately the first thing that happened to the first area to have it’s coverings removed, is that a tenant put a bag of leaking rubbish down onto the carpet to create a large circular stain.

These are your homes that we are trying to make nice for you, so please can you go the extra mile to try to keep them in a good condition.

We provide a free Internet Network which hasn’t been working for over a week. We have tracked down the problems to be originating from a tenant having added to the network a BT Homehub with it’s own Internet connection. It may or may not be also be providing the local area with a BTFon wireless network using our network. The BTHomehub causing the problems appears to be on a phone connection which ends xxxxxx789 but I can’t find out any more about it or disable the device. Please can anyone who has a BTHomehub please get in touch with us.

It may be that we will have to switch off parts of the network until we can find where the disruption is coming from. Meanwhile we have changed the password to the wireless network. Please e-mail Nick or contact George for the new password.

Debden is the only place you can’t rent Pimlico Flats

London Underground roundel logo

Image via Wikipedia

For a couple of weeks now I have been posting in various places scary and astounding facts, such as that Debden is the only Tube station not to use any of the letters in “Pimlico Flats” in it’s name, or

Do you know the only tube station not to have any of the letters in “Tesco iSold” in it’s name?

I’ve been waiting for someone to ask me how I know these things, but as no one has – I’m going to tell you anyway. For about 3 weeks the internet has been featuring the important information that Pimlico is the only Underground station which does not contain any of the letters in the word ‘badger’, a few people felt such a statement shouldn’t go unverified and with a call like that up stepped Ben Green with his website for testing Tube Stations.

So know we know:

Debden is the only place you can’t rent Pimlico Flats

Pimlico is the only Underground station which does not contain any of the letters in the word ‘badger’

The only tube station not to have any of the letters “Tesco iSold” in it’s name is Bank

Your Map of Pimlico on the Internet

As Londonist says Google Maps are all very well for presenting information. But where’s the charm? Where’s the love? Reminded earlier this week about the special allure of hand-drawn charts, they thought it’d be fun to revive the idea of homemade cartography.

They’ve asked us to draw a map of our local area, be it home or work, indicating all the corners, bars, parks, features and characters that are important to us, then photograph your work and send it to tips@londonist.com, or upload it to Flickr and tag it Londonist. They’ll show the best ones on their site.

If your map is of Pimlico, and shows the location of Pimlico Flats, then e-mail it to me (click the envelope on the left) and I will publish it on this site.

This is what I did, but I am sure that you can do better.

Pimlico Flats March 2010 Newsletter

Apart from a couple of days February has been a month of constant rain. Needless to say no external decorating has been done. If any tenants in the new mansard have any building problems please (e.g. a leak as happened in Flat No13) please let George or Bradley Construction know .

Progress to the new reception area has been delayed due to the solar panel installers. However they will be in at the end of the first week of March so hopefully without any further delays the new reception is programmed to be completed by the middle of March.

Entrance Tiles

Entrance Tiles

We will be laying a patterned tiled entrance to the front of the entrance to 75

Apologies in advance for the obstruction, we will be making a temporary platform for all of you to walk over when Stan is laying these tiles.

The reconstruction works in 79 to solve the leaks are progressing well and as long as we have no delays with certain materials arriving on time these works will definitely be completed by the middle of April.

In the interests of saving paper future newsletters will go out electronically. If you wish to receive them by mail you can subscribe to the blog at www.pimlico-flats.co.uk/blog
