by Thomas Quaye
CityWest Homes Residential, CWH Lessee Services and CWH Churchill Gardens Estate Office have worked together to assist a City of Westminster lessee in serving the correct notices to evict the tenants of a property in the Churchill Gardens Estate that were running an illegal hostel in one of the flats. The property has now been successfully 're-let' by CityWest Homes Residential under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement to fully referenced, private rented sector tenants at market rent. We are of course very pleased with the demonstrable benefits of this team effort.CityWest Homes Residential staff partake in 'Movember'

Staff at CityWest Homes Residential are partaking in 'Movember' this year to support charity concerned with male cancer http://uk.movember.com/. We hope to raise at least £200 for this very worthwhile cause and hope that the resulting moustaches will bring amusement to our customers!CityWest Homes Residential less expensive than cost in 'This is Money' article
by Thomas Quaye
'This is Money' has recently stated that "Agents charge anything from £200 upwards for an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreement. However, you can download an AST for free if you search online." CityWest Homes Residential charge nearly half of the cost stated above, thus for £100+vat we are able to provide our clients with a professionally drafted AST that offers maximum protection for our clients after the benefit of advice from some of the best solicitors concerned with residential property. Aside from the obvious risks with online leases, any lease we create for our clients offers the protection of our Professional Indemnity Insurance.

Letting private sector 'sealed bids' on City of Westminster property
by Thomas Quaye
CityWest Homes Residential have recently secured 'sealed bids' of tenure
from private sector tenants for a property in the Churchill Gardens Estate.
Our marketing produced so much demand from prospective tenants, that
4 parties offered at asking price. Subsequently we asked for their highest
'sealed bid' to acheive an offer £100 per month above the asking price.
