Renting in London
If you're looking for a flat in London, you already know how the usual route goes: queues at viewings, hundreds of applicants on every listing, and rents climbing past £2,100 a month. RentRequests works the other way around. You post what you need once (budget, boroughs, move-in date, bedrooms, and any must-haves like garden, parking, or pet-friendly), and verified landlords and letting agents with matching properties contact you. We cover every borough, from Camden and Islington through Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Wandsworth, Lambeth, and Kensington & Chelsea, out to the Zone 4–6 commuter belt. Posting is free, your contact details stay private until you choose to share them, and we're built with England's 2026 Renters' Rights Act in mind.

Common questions about renting in London
What rights do London renters have under the 2026 Renters' Rights Act?
Renters in England have the right to refuse rent bidding, request written tenancy terms, challenge unfair fees, and end fixed-term tenancies with two months' notice. RentRequests is built with these rules in mind. Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have separate rental protections.
How much does the average London rental cost in 2026?
Average rent in London in 2026 is around £2,150 a month for a one-bed flat in Zones 1–3, and roughly £1,650 in outer zones.
Are London landlords on RentRequests verified?
Yes. Every London landlord and letting agent on RentRequests is verified before they can contact renters. We check company registration, agency credentials, and ARLA/NRLA membership where applicable.
Can I find a London rental that accepts pets or DSS?
Yes. When you post your London requirements, you can flag pets, housing benefit, guarantors, or other circumstances. Only landlords who accept those criteria will reach out, so you avoid wasted conversations.
How quickly can I find a London rental on RentRequests?
Most London renters receive their first matched offers within 24 hours of posting and sign a tenancy within 11 days on average — roughly half the time of traditional portals.
