subject: Flats In Wimbledon All Rented For Tourist [print this page] Every year hundreds of thousands of people descend upon Wimbledon for the tennis. Very soon SW19 is going to be buzzing with tennis fans from around the globe, as well as the world's media plus the players themselves. Wimbledon is definitely a really exceptional tournament and perhaps the most anticipated on the calendar and not just by the players but the local community as well because SW19 residents have a chance to make a small fortune from letting their flat or home to players and their entourages.
In Wimbledon there isn't a huge choice of hotels but typically players don't want to stay too far from where they're playing. To rent in North London would probably require them to make a reasonably prolonged and unpleasant journey which could affect their performance.
For a professional tennis player being close to where they're competing is very important but for the top end players, proximity is only the beginning. They'll generally try and balance comfort with location. Top players will also have their coaches with them, their agent, physiotherapists, plus a whole entourage of others.
The most used location to rent property in Wimbledon over the years has been between the All England Club and Wimbledon Village which is a ten to fifteen minute walk. The area may be quite small but generally there is a lot of choice.
The chances of Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer banging on your own front door are pretty slim since the elite players have got people to deal with specialists in local accommodation. You're much more likely to come across a tennis fan searching for more affordable accommodation, or perhaps a family who are over for a few days to enjoy the tennis.
If indeed you're considering trying to rent out your home for the competition there are a couple of things to remember. The foremost is that you need to ensure your Wimbledon flat or apartment or house is clean as a whistle. If it is heavily decorated it is best to temporarily follow a minimalist style whilst you have guests.
The following thing you should do is make contact with nearby estate agents and inform them of the situation because they may be able to refer people to your property, but be warned because the agents will want a small fee for this.
