Flats in Wimbledon filling up for the tennis.

By Eric James


Year after year thousands and thousands of people descend upon Wimbledon for the tennis. Very soon SW19 will be buzzing with tennis fans from across the world, as well as the world's media and also the players themselves.

Wimbledon is definitely a very unique tournament and perhaps the most anticipated on the calendar and not simply by the players but the local community too because SW19 residents get the chance to make a small fortune from letting their flat or home to players together with their entourages.

In Wimbledon there is not a tremendous selection of hotels but usually players don't want to stay too far from where they are playing. To rent in North London would probably require them to make a reasonably prolonged and unpleasant journey which might impact their performance.

For a professional tennis player being close to where they're competing is very important however for the very best players, proximity is only the start. They'll generally try and balance comfort with location. Top players will also have their own coaches with them, their agent, physiotherapists, along with a whole entourage of other people.

Typically the most popular location to rent property in Wimbledon in recent times has been between the All England Club and Wimbledon Village which is a ten to fifteen minute walk. The area might be quite small but there quite a bit of choice.

The likelihood of Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer banging on your own front door are pretty slim considering that the top notch players have got people to deal with specialists in local property. You're much more likely to encounter a tennis fan searching for more affordable accommodation, or a family who are over for a couple of days to enjoy the tennis.

If indeed you're contemplating trying to rent out your property for the tournament there are a couple of things to bear in mind. The foremost is that you need to ensure your Wimbledon flat or apartment or house is sparkling clean. If it is seriously decorated it is advisable to temporarily adopt a minimalist style whilst you have guests.

The following thing you need to do is make contact with local estate agents and inform them of the circumstances simply because they might be able to refer people to your property, but be warned since the agents will want a small fee for this.
