August to October are traditionally the busiest time of the year for corporate lets in Canary Wharf as banks take on new recruits for Autumn. Although recruitment is down due to the credit crunch there are still a number of banks looking for corporate accommodation for both new recruits and senior executives relocating from abroad. Traditionally relocations agents are used to find suitable accommodation for senior employees but more and more companies are going directly to agents such as Movello that specialise in Corporate Lets with dedicated experienced staff. The expectations of senior staff are high and apartments need to be in the best locations and furnished to the highest standards but the rewards for landlords can also be high. Some executives use the apartments on an infrequent basis since they are regularly travelling and may return to a European home at weekends. Executives are also now looking at Docklands fringe locations such as Capital East, demonstrated by a recent Movello corporate let of the penthouse at Alaska Apartments for £1450 per week. If you would like more information on the corporate let service provided by Movello or have an apartment you feel would be suitable for a corporate let please contact Angus Edy, Movello Managing Director on 020 7473 9533.
