Good news on the way for long-term London expat housing?
After countless years of above-inflation rent increases and, at times, a chronic shortage of good-quality, long-term expat housing options, are we finally seeing the signs of falling rents and ... wait for it ... housing choices?

Renting in London has its challenges. This is something all newcomers, or even long term residents experience. Price, location, size...these are all very important factors to consider. London is in demand, as a place to live and it makes it a very competitive city for flat hunting. It is also a large city, and a diverse one and choosing the right location for you is something that can take time. Personally I think the move towards flats and communities based around coliving are the next new thing in London. It takes away a lot of the stress involved with flat hunting- there are some great coliving companies with some great inventory and some great apartments. Generally rents include all bills, wifi; a lot of the complexes have co working spaces, community spaces, events and workshops. You don't have to deal with individual landlords, you don't have to deal with a lot of paperwork. It takes all the stress out of finding an apartment.
