Rent your home during Wimbledon tennis
The Wimbledon Tennis Championships attract visitors from across the globe, including corporate guests, media teams and tennis fans looking for high-quality accommodation close to the event. This creates demand for short term housing in and around Wimbledon most notably for well-presented homes within easy reach of the tournament.
Many homeowners choose to travel during this time which makes for an excellent opportunity to rent your home for a fixed period. Houses and flats appeal to visitors who prefer the space, privacy and comfort of a residential property over a hotel.
Short term lets during Wimbledon are typically arranged for the duration of the tournament or for a shorter agreed period. This flexibility allows homeowners to retain full control over when their property is available.
When is best to arrange a Wimbledon short let
There is no single best time to arrange a short let in Wimbledon - homeowners can begin the process well in advance or closer to the Championships, and our team is able to help at any stage.

However, demand for short term properties in Wimbledon remains strong right up until the tournament begins, with many visitors - particularly corporate travellers and last-minute bookers - searching for accommodation in the weeks and even days before the event.
