Short Term Lets Provide Solution to Cost of Holiday Apartments in London

Finding holiday rentals in the United Kingdom can be a daunting prospect for travelers planning to work their way around the world.
Working in London may earn you more, but the cost of holiday apartments can make a huge dent in the pocket.

London holiday apartment rental is more than double the cost of holiday rentals in the north of the country, but, again, you are unlikely to earn as much.
A compromise for this is to look for short-term lets on websites, such as Gumtree or Craigslist.
Short-term lets in established houses or apartments are more commonplace in the capital where the population is more transient.
Teachers going traveling for the summer or backpackers choosing to visit Europe for short periods may rent their rooms for short-lets in shared homes.
An issue to consider when opting for this over a hostel or holiday apartment is that property goes very quickly.
A room central to London’s transport links at a reasonable price may go within hours of posting as people rush to get the best deal.
Living in this way, may also pose problems if you find long-term work, but only find short-term stays as you will have to move on and on and on.
Minimum rental contracts are usually six months, which is a big commitment to visitors on a visa with a specific time period.
There are ways of getting around this, by getting sponsored by a company that likes your work or by applying for a student visa.
However, the United Kingdom government has recently cracked down on immigration, including student permits, so it is wise to check this before you go.
Do your research to find out what your average spend per day will be, including the high price of accommodation in the capital.
