Tipi – taking the pain out of renting in London
- 60% of Londoners will rent their homes within 10 years (PwC)
- Simple leasing process with no agency fees attracting attention at Wembley Park (Tipi)
- Tipi apartments available from £1,550 with utilities and broadband included
Once upon a time, renting a new home used to be a stressful process. Endless phone calls, time wasted waiting around for agents to turn up for viewings, endless paperwork and spiralling agency costs were just a few of the hassles that made up the process. But now, thankfully, there is another way.
Michael Allen, Head of PRS at Tipi, the lifestyle-focused rental operator at Wembley Park, North West London, explains,
“In the year 2000, 60% of Londoners owned their own home, but according to PwC’s research, 60% of the capital’s population will be renting by 2025. We feel that it’s time those renters got a better deal, so that’s precisely what we’ve done at Tipi. From the quality of the apartment to the superb, hotel-inspired amenities and services, Tipi is all about taking renting to the next level for Londoners.”
Tipi’s rental process itself exemplifies this new approach. Interested customers book a viewing with the on-site Tipi team, enjoy a one-to-one tour and then select the apartment they love the most. A flexible range of lease terms is available, designed to suit the differing needs of individual tenants rather than force a ‘one size fits all’ approach on renters.
Reservations can be made with the Tipi team or online and references are checked by a friendly online agency. Documents can be signed online and payment transferred electronically. Then all the renter has to do is turn up and collect their keys.
The simple leasing process will be seen as a breath of fresh air for many of those who rent in the capital, particularly when they discover that the agency fees for the process come to the grand total of £0.
This simplicity is carried through to other areas of the Tipi development. Utility and broadband bills for the one, two and three bedroom apartments are included in the rent, thus reducing tenants’ life admin. Superfast broadband is instantly available throughout the building – so new tenants don’t have to waste time finding a provider, arranging installation and setting up a new account.
The online My Tipi service makes things even easier. Tipi customers can use it to take care of everything from ordering cleaning services to arranging to have their washing or dry cleaning done.
Apartments at Tipi are priced from £1,550 pcm. Not only does that include a stylish home, utility bills and broadband bills, but there’s also a hotel-style concierge service and the Deckhouse and Nest shared lounges, which include comfy seating, Sky Sports, a pool table, kitchenette and more. There’s even an outside terrace off the Deckhouse, as well as the acre of beautifully landscaped water gardens surrounding the building.
By providing Londoners with an all-inclusive, hotel-inspired rental service of this nature, Tipi has raised the bar when it comes to renting, turning the fairytale dream of a happy, painless rental process in London into an everyday reality.
