Looking for a flat to rent in London can be a daunting task, particularly when you are not familiar with the city. Deciding which area to live in, what a realistic budget would be and how to find high quality flats to rent takes some experience with the London property rentals market as well as the transport system.

The first task is to decide which part of London you want to live in. Given the number of flats to rent in London being advertised every day it would be nearly impossible to review and compare flats to rent from all parts of the city. Unless you have a very large budget for your flat to rent, your choice of location will be a compromise between the distance from the city centre, the quality of the area and the quality of the flat to rent.

Where Will You be Working?

The best starting point is to consider where you will be working in London and how this relates to potential flats to rent in London. If you already have a job then that should be easy, but if you also need to find work then its worth spending some time looking at where different industries tend to be based within the city.

What Are The Principle Transport Routes?

Once you have identified where youll be working, the next job is to look at the principle transport routes to that location. A combined map of tube and train lines which is available from Transport for London will show you the quickest routes to your place of work. It's important to look carefully at the number of transport changes that you will have to make on the journey as these can be the most time consuming part of the journey. Also look carefully at the pricing zones, as moving just one stop down the line in to the next zone can make a big difference to the ticket prices.

Do a Dry Run

The average commute to work in London is 55 minutes, so before deciding upon an area within which to start looking for flats to rent in London its worth doing a dry run of the commute in to London. Its important to do the commute at rush hour so that you can find out how busy the trains are. At some stations in London its now virtually impossible to board the train at rush hour.

When searching for flats to rent in London its important to consider Londons transport system and where you will be commuting from to get to work.About the Author:
