We're happy to put on the market our large 2-bed flat (97 square metres) in one of the sought after mansion blocks of Maida Vale.

THE FLAT ---------------------------------------
With high ceilings, mouldings, many windows and a lot of light, it's very romantic yet contemporarily furnished. All rooms have generous proportions with LOTS of storage. We have changed the single-glazed windows for double-glazed windows in December 2024, so you won't feel the wind coming through the windows like in so many other flats (have these landlords realised we were in the 21st century!?).

We furnished it the way we like it, not the way that was most profitable (bye bye Ikea furniture seen everywhere); hopefully you'll like it too! We would like as much furniture as possible to stay, but can make a few exceptions as we will also keep a storage unit in London.

More specifically, it has:
- 2 bedrooms (or 1 bedroom and 1 study, as it is currently used - we will add a bed if you'd like to use the study as a bedroom), carpeted
- 1 bathroom (tiled)
- 1 separate kitchen (wooden floor), including a dishwasher, washing machine, oven, and fridge-freezer
- 1 living room (wooden floor), including an L-shaped sofa, an 8-seater dining table and chairs, a desk and a lovely (now decorative) fireplace
- 1 corridor/library (wooden floor) with shelves for books as well as integrated storage for shoes, coats, suitcases, etc.
- 2 balconies (one at the front outside of the master bedroom, one at the back outside of the second bedroom)
- 1 extra storage unit/boiler room on the back balcony

Additional features include:
- A parking space
- Access to a communal garden/courtyard
- Secured bike parking (in the communal courtyard, only accessible to residents)
- 24/7 porter service
- Cleaner for the communal areas, 5 days a week
- We'll be happy to 'transfer' you our cleaner for the flat; she comes once a week and is okay not to increase her fees for you
- Bins taken out for you 6 days a week
- Lift
- EPC rating C

THE LOCATION ---------------------------------------
The flat is in a well-maintained period mansion block. It is in a lovely neighbourhood and very well connected. To name a few 'key places', the flat is:
- 7min walk from the closest tube station, Warwick Avenue (Bakerloo line)
- 15min walk or 1 tube stop away from Paddington station (Bakerloo, District & Circle, Hammersmith & City, Elizabeth lines, Heathrow Express)
- 1min walk from a pharmacy, a dentist, a wine shop, a Cafe Nero, a cake/cafe/pastry shop, or a pub (to name a few)
- 2min walk from a Tesco Express and a Gail's Bakery
- 2min walk from an Everyman cinema
- 2min walk from a hairdresser's and a nail beauty salon
- 5min walk from an Aldi and the shops of Edgware Road
- 5-12min walk from many other cafes, pubs, local shops and restaurants in Maida Vale, on the Regents Canal, or St John's Wood
- 40min walk from Oxford Street, or 20min by bus
- 40min walk from Camden, 30min by bus, or 45min by boat via the canal (maybe not your every day commute, but great for when family is visiting!).
- 30min walk from Notting Hill and its (many) tempting shops and restaurants

ABOUT US ---------------------------------------
We have purchased, furnished, and lived in this flat over the past couple of years. Now it's time for us to move, and we'd love to find a couple or two sharers to sign for a long-term lease; minimum 2 years, preferably. There will be a break clause for everyone's peace of mind.

This is our only property, and we might be back to live in it one day, so that means we:
- Have been there! Until very recently, we were tenants in London, so we'd like to think we won't behave like some of the selfish people we've given our rent to in the past years;
- Will replace things that break with good quality items
- Be responsive, reasonable and responsible landlords, fixing issues quickly;
- Won't kick you out for short-term profit, or randomly increase the rent - we'd rather have happy tenants who stay for as long as possible (I know, it's unheard of in London, isn't it?!).

If it's not obvious, we really want people who will take care of our flat as if it was their own - we'll be caring landlords in return.

THE COSTS ---------------------------------------
- Total rent is set at £3,395 per calendar month. The way you split it per room is up to you - we've set a suggested split of £1650/£1850, but ultimately you can choose.
- Bills are not included, yet we have a preferential tariff with British Gas (£40 p/m) that we'll happily transfer you.
- Council tax band is F/Westminster. This is £117 p/m.
- A 5-week deposit as well as the first month of rent will be due before the 2 sets of keys are handed out (i. e. a total of £7312.30, of which £3917.30 is a refundable deposit). We will protect the deposit as per the legislation.
- No admin or check-in/check-out fees - perks of dealing directly with your landlords! :)

NEXT STEPS ---------------------------------------
Are you interested? Please contact us for a viewing! We'll try and group them all within two weeks, so we can give answers as quickly as possible to people (including ourselves!).

There will be a referencing check (make sure we can contact your employer and previous landlord), and an inventory check before you move in. You won't be charged for these.

You will be asked to prove you've registered for Council Tax and water bills before moving in.
