What lets in W2, and at what
Our managed book inside W2 is zero today — and we would rather say so than borrow a number. What you get instead is the method: the Land Registry, the EPC register, the live portal competition and our three-year timing dataset, with the comparables shown line by line at the visit. The moment we let our first W2 home, this section changes by itself: it is computed from the live book on every build.
Our managed book in this postcode is zero today — said plainly above. This block recomputes from the live book on every build, and changes by itself the day we let our first home here.

How the valuation works, and what we charge after
The valuation is free, and it is a visit — not a form that emails you a guess. We price from evidence: the Land Registry, the EPC register, the live portal competition and a three-year timing dataset — August carries the year’s highest enquiries-to-listings ratio, weeks three and four of a month out-pull weeks one and two, and Monday morning is the launch slot. You see the comparables we used, line by line, and where each one came from.
Why the number matters more than it used to: under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, section 13 is the only route to raise the rent once a tenancy runs, so the day-one figure largely sets the tenancy’s earnings. Our fee, if you then instruct us, is one all-in 10% of monthly rent including VAT, charged only in the months a tenant is paying rent — no letting fee, no renewal fee, no rent-review fee, and nothing during a void, nothing to re-let. The full breakdown sits on the landlords page.
And the line we hold: we won’t publish a rent range we cannot stand behind, and we won’t take a property on at a price we don’t believe it will let at.
Honestly
Why we don’t sell you an instant number
An instant online valuation cannot see the floor you are on, the aspect, the block’s service standard or the heating your building runs — the things that decide hundreds of pounds a month in W2. Ours is a visit, it is free, and you see the working. If you want a fast steer first, our monthly London Rent Review tracks where London rents actually sit.
The local read · W2
Park-side stock, priced flat by flat
W2 runs along Hyde Park’s north side: Lancaster Gate and Bayswater’s stucco terraces and mansion blocks, Queensway and Westbourne Grove’s conversions, and the new-build stock around Paddington Basin. The Elizabeth line at Paddington and the Central line at Queensway and Lancaster Gate hold tenant demand across all of it.
The spread inside the postcode is the point: a park-facing mansion-block two-bed, a lower-ground conversion and a Basin new-build sit hundreds of pounds apart on the same street map. That is why the valuation starts at the flat, not the postcode.
Questions we get asked
Valuing a flat in W2
How much does a rental valuation cost in W2?
Nothing. The valuation is free whether or not you instruct us. We visit the flat, price it from the Land Registry, the EPC register, the live competition and our timing dataset, and show you the comparables line by line — then the decision is yours.
Do you cover Queensway, Lancaster Gate and Westbourne Grove?
Yes — the whole W2 postcode: Bayswater, Queensway, Lancaster Gate, Westbourne Grove, Paddington and the Basin, and the Little Venice edge where it crosses in. Wherever the flat sits, the valuation works the same way: the building first, the postcode second.
You manage nothing in W2 — why should I trust your number?
Because we say so on the page, and price from evidence you can check: the Land Registry, the EPC register and the live portal competition, shown line by line. We would rather tell you our W2 book is zero than borrow a neighbour’s average — a borrowed number costs a landlord real money.
I live overseas — can you value and let my W2 flat?
Yes. Around half our landlords are overseas, and our China Desk answers in Mandarin and Cantonese (WeChat: HarveyWJames). The valuation visit, the letting and the management all run without you needing to be in London.
