Flats are one of the most popular sectors of the rental market. Properties tend to move fast, but new options come on to the market frequently. Furnished flats suit short term tenants and students, while long term tenants may prefer unfurnished properties to decorate as they wish. Some blocks of flats offer car parking, and facilities such as a private gym or swimming pool. Flats range from the basic to the luxurious, and you can expect to pay more for a desirable post code or beautiful view.
