First of all you need to decide whether you wish to rent a House or an Apartment or prefer a Homestay. This will depend on the number of people in your party, the length of stay and your budget. You then view the choice of properties from our website. If you do not find exactly what you want you are welcome to contact us as we are constantly receiving new properties to be added our database.

A Homestay offers the opportunity to stay with a local Wimbledon family in their private home. You will have your own room with private facilities as detailed. A hearty Continental breakfast is provided by the host family. Please note that a minimum of 5 nights applies to Homestay Visitors.

E-mail us with details in the “Looking to Rent” box provided on our website. We will confirm if the accommodation is available and advise you of the procedure for contracts and payment.

All accommodation shows the length of time it is available for rent. If you require a longer period of time or think you may need to extend please let us know and we will check with the owners.

Houses and Apartments - One-half of the total rental is due at the time of exchange of a “Short Term Letting” contract. The balance is to be paid 45 days prior to the commencement of the rental. In addition, as is normal policy for short term Lettings, a Deposit of one week’s rental is required as a security against possible damage to the property or it’s contents.
Homestay Visitors – A non-refundable deposit of one night’s accommodation is required at the time of confirmation. The balance is due 30 days prior to the commencement of the Homestay.

The rental is to be paid by BAC’s transfer to be received in Sterling or Sterling cheque. The security Deposit may be paid in Sterling, US$ or Euros. Subject to there being no claims against this Deposit it will be returned in full (less Bank charges) in the original currency thus reducing the risk of losses on exchange rate. In each case the funds will be held in a Bank Client’s Account regulated by strict Bank of England controls.

Wimbledon Accommodation will ensure that your property is clean and in an acceptable condition for your arrival. Housekeeping can be arranged on a weekly or even daily basis but this is an expense of the Tenant. The property must be returned in the same condition as at the commencement of the Letting.

Detailed information is provided to you about all aspects of the property including use of the oven, security alarms and keys. You will also be provided with a full list of contact numbers in the event of an emergency.

If you have not done so before there are many points to consider. Where will I stay if I move out? Do I need to empty all my cupboards? Am I covered for insurance purposes? You are invited to contact us and we can offer initial advice. Subject to initial discussions we will then visit you and explain in full detail what is involved.
