Winston Churchill’s ‘Wilderness’ Apartment for rent in Westminster

Knight Frank have brought to market the former home of Sir Winston Churchill from 1930-1939 in his so-called Wilderness Years.
The historic apartment, located on the fifth and sixth floor, overlooking Westminster Cathedral was home to Churchill when he learnt Edward VIII intended to marry Wallace Simpson and where he read the draft of the King’s proposed wireless broadcast detailing his impending abdication. When Churchill left the apartment in 1939 he left as First Lord of the Admiralty and to his desk at the War Cabinet. The rest, as they say, is history.
The property to let in Westminster, SW1 is currently available unfurnished, for rent at £2,250 per week through Knight Frank Belgravia lettings.
The apartment is close to the transport links of Victoria with Underground Station (District, Circle and Victoria lines), main line railway including Gatwick Express. It is also located close to all the amenities of Westminster and Victoria.
The flat benefits from a large entrance hall, three interconnecting reception rooms perfect for entertaining on a large scale and has recently been refurbished to a high standard.
Accommodation includes master bedroom with en suite bathroom, a further two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a further bedroom, guest cloakroom, two reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, study, roof terrace, lift access, porter services.
This is not the first time Knight Frank have managed property related to Churchill. In 1922, the firm sold Chartwell (his family home in Kent, now owned by the National Trust), to him.

25,000 properties to rent on new property website – London2let.com
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 31 January 2012
Since its launch in May 2011 London2let.com continues to grow rapidly and is now fast becoming a major property portal. With over 25,000 properties to rent, covering all budgets London2let.com gives property seekers a true view of what is available to rent in the capital. More than 800 letting agents stream their properties twice daily giving visitor’s new properties on the market straight away!
London2let.com has really excelled in search engine rankings in recent months, which has played a big part in the record traffic levels the website is experiencing. “Being high in the search engines for common search terms used by perspective London tenants such as ‘flats to rent in Ealing’ is great for visitor numbers to the site and will obviously play a big role in their agent’s enquiry levels”. For example as traffic has double in the last few months so have enquiry levels for agents.
Due to the current financial situation many more people are unable to purchase a home and therefore renting for longer periods. This has pushed London rental prices up as people are having to compete for accommodation. This can work in agents favor also as a drop in the sales market will have a correlating effect on the rentals market in London.
“We are very surprised but very pleased with the speed that London2let.com has grown, our search engine rankings are also well above where we expected to be 6 months after our launch date,” said Will Thomas .

Over £100 A Month Cheaper to Buy Than Rent for First-Time Buyers
London (PRWEB) September 06, 2011
The cost of buying a home for first-time buyers is more than £100 a month lower than renting, according to new research by Halifax. The average monthly costs associated with buying1 a two bedroom flat in the UK for a first-time buyer (FTB) totalled £567 in July 2011, 16% (£110) lower than the typical rent paid2 on the same property type (£677 a month). This is in contrast to 2008 when the average cost of buying was in fact 29% (£212) more than the average rent paid.
Since 2008, the cost associated with getting onto the property ladder has fallen by 40% (£383), five times the 8% (£62) decline in the average rent paid by private tenants. The cost of buying for a FTB has fallen by 2% over the past year whilst average rental costs have risen by 6%.
Lower mortgage rates and house prices drive down buying costs
The decline in buying costs for a FTB has been driven by the fall in mortgage rates and house prices since 2008. The average mortgage rate3 for a new borrower stands at 3.84%: a fall of 207 basis points from an average of 5.91% in mid 2008. The average FTB house price has fallen by 14% to £124,378 over the same period.
Average deposits stabilise…
FTBs put down an average deposit of £27,127 in July 2011, equivalent to 20% of the average property price. This is nonetheless 6% lower than the average of £28,751 in July 2008, revealing a small improvement over the period.
Moreover, although the transaction costs associated with home purchase including stamp duty and legal fees can also add to the overall cost of buying a property, Halifax estimates that 95% of FTBs are currently exempt from paying stamp duty. This is as a consequence of the temporary increase in the threshold for FTBs from £125,000 to £250,000.
…but number of FTBs has fallen by almost a quarter since 2008
Despite the improvement in the affordability of buying relative to renting, figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders4 show that there were 84,000 first-time buyers in the first half of 2011: 23% lower than in the same period in 2008. This partly reflects the economic turbulence over the period and the size of the average deposit still required to get onto the property ladder.
The current trade-off between buying and renting will narrow when interest rates rise
Halifax estimates that the cost of buying would be broadly in line with the cost of renting if the current level of Bank Rate rose by 1.5 percentage points5. In this scenario, monthly buying costs for a UK FTB would stand at £681: that would be 1% (£4) higher than the average rent paid. However, given the uncertain economic outlook, interest rates are likely to remain very low for sometime yet.
Suren Thiru, housing economist at Halifax, commented:
“The recent decline in the cost of buying a property for first-time buyers compared to renting has been substantial and reflects the drop in both mortgage rates and house prices since 2008 as well as a marked increase in the average rent paid over the past year.”
“However, while these affordability gains are welcome, conditions in the housing market for those looking to get onto the property ladder remain challenging. Difficulties in raising a deposit and the current economic uncertainty are likely to mean that number of prospective first-time buyers entering the market will remain relatively subdued in the near term.”
Halifax acts to help first-time buyers
In an effort to further support first-time buyers, Halifax recently announced a new partnership with Experian to launch Halifax Credit Expert. Through the launch of the new service, delivered through the Halifax First Time Buyer Pledge, applicants who do not get approved for a mortgage because of their credit score will have access to a bespoke CreditExpert membership. While Halifax accepts 8 out of 10 applications from first-time buyers, the new service will concentrate on helping those few who are unsuccessful in their first attempt to get on the ladder.
The service will provide Halifax customers with:
unlimited access to their Experian credit report and Experian Credit Score
expert support and advice on what’s impacting their score
personalised advice on steps to improve their credit profile.
OTHER FINDINGS:
Buying costs account for a quarter of disposable income
FTB buying costs currently account for 25% of average disposable income. In 2008, buying costs accounted for 48% of average UK disposable income.6
Buying is now more affordable than renting in all UK regions
Buying a property for someone looking to take their first step on to the property ladder was more affordable than renting in all twelve UK regions. Conversely, in July 2008, buying was in fact more expensive than renting in all regions.
Buying is currently most cost-effective compared to renting in Northern Ireland with the average FTB paying 29% a month less than the typical private tenant. In contrast, the cost of buying is just 1% (£9) lower than the cost of renting in the South East.

New Website from yChatter Links Renters with Flats to Rent in London
London (PRWEB UK) 5 August 2011
Concerns about privacy are no longer an issue when renters or property owners use yChatter.com, the newest site to find a flat to rent in London. The site allows owners to create a listing for their property or house share. Renters then create an account, set up a profile and list the criteria they need in a house share or flat. They can browse flats to rent in their area that match the criteria in their profile.
When a renter finds a room to rent that piques their interest, they can put that property or house share on their watch list and then send a message to the property owner without having to reveal their direct contact information. Renters can ask questions about a particular room to rent or book a viewing with the owner, and they choose when to reveal their contact information to the property owner.
Cheryl Aitken, co-founder of yChatter.com, says, “yChatter is the revolutionary new way to find flats to rent in London. We have taken the best features of social networking sites and combined them with real estate website capabilities to create this new way to find a house share,rent a room, or to be connected with prospective renters.”
yChatter is a free service that makes it easy for renters to sort the many flats to rent currently on the market so that they only spend time looking at the house share listings that meet their needs. The site also allows renters to look at flats to rent that don’t match the criteria in their profile so that they can see what else is on the market.
Users of yChatter.com can also upload photos, which, like on social networking sites, make it easier to find a room to rent. Renters who upload a photo of themselves are seven times more likely to win the best flats to rent or a house share that meets their needs, and property owners are much more likely to find a good renter if they upload photos of the property.
It can take anywhere from a couple of days up to a month to find a room to rent, so yChatter.com recommends looking at several properties. Renters can place several flats to rent on their watch list, and the site allows them to stay organized while searching for a room to rent.
Owners wanting to let their properties on yChatter.com can also see who is watching their properties and send offers to prospective renters. Renters can accept or reject the offers for a house share or room to rent right on the yChatter website without having to call owners and let them know.
“We are so thrilled about bringing yChatter.com to the London rental market so we can help residents find flats to rent,” Aitken says. “With social networking becoming as popular it is, we believe that renters and property owners alike will be as excited about yChatter.com as we are.”
About yChatter
yChatter.com is owned and operated by Premium IT Solutions Pty Ltd. The site is an online neighborhood that allows renters and property owners to interact socially online.
