Company description
I founded Ivy Lettings in 2009 following a career as a finance lawyer here in London. My first child had just been born and my young family wanted to spend some time abroad, hoping to finance the trip with income from our apartment in West London. Since we’d be abroad, we wanted someone to handle the whole process for us, but we were unable to find anyone we felt happy entrusting our home to. Eventually, we found a tenant through a traditional high street agent, but the let didn’t go brilliantly, essentially because high street agents don’t really focus on short lets and we didn’t feel the let was managed as well as it might have been. I imagine the tenant who stayed in our flat felt the same.
