2009 London Vacation Rental Market Report

The 2009 2nd half and Full Year London Vacation Rental Market Report is now available on the London Furnished Apartment Market Report website. The report covers the latest information about London vacation rentals including information about the 2nd half and full year 2009. Data from 2007 and 2008 is provided for comparison.

The 2009 London Vacation Rental Market Report finds that New York Habitat is still growing its business in London despite the down economy in 2009. Overall the number of apartment bookings grew by 40%. Furthermore, the average apartment rental price also climbed in 2009. For find out about all of the causes for these gains, read the London Vacation Rental Market Report.

Some of the major factors affecting the London market in 2009 included:

•    A declining value of the British Pound, making London a more attractive destination for Americans and people in the countries using the euro
•    An increased inventory of apartments in London, making it easier to find the perfect match for our customers
•    The global recession which made clients more cost conscious

With many within the industry predicting that 2010 will be a year for recovery in the travel market, we expect more positive results for the London vacation rental market in 2010. One factor to continue to watch is the value of the pound. If it returns to levels seen in 2008 then the number of rentals will likely fall.

New York Habitat is happy to offer this comprehensive look at the London Vacation Rental market via our report. We will continue to provide up-to-date information via the New York Habitat blog and the London Furnished Apartment Market Reports web page.
