Letting & Renting IN VOGUE



With Britain’s property market in turmoil thelettingsite.co.uk has been launched at a highly appropriate time.

According to the influential Times newspaper renting residential flats and houses has never been more fashionable.

The Times authoritative property supplement Bricks & Mortar published today headlines its lead cover story ‘It’s chic to rent. Why being a tenant is suddenly back in fashion.’

Times journalist Anne Ashworth - the charming and respected Property Journalist of the Year – says ‘ the balance of power has shifted from landlord to tenant as people realise that renting is the smart way to ride the credit crisis.’

Ashworth quotes property professional Jo Eccles of Sourcing Property who says ‘ not so long ago 80 per cent of her clients were looking to buy. Now the same number are looking to rent, having done their sums.’

Thelettingsite.co.uk is a free web portal featuring thousands of properties to rent across the UK. It concentrates specifically on landlords, letting agents and tenants.
