But wherever you may choose, we have no doubt that you’ll soon feel over the moon with your new set-up in the Big Smoke.

The cost of living in London can be expensive, but there are ways to save money. For example, you could consider sharing a property with friends. We have several 2-bedroom flats for rent.

Question 6

What does PCM in rent mean?

Accepted Answer

PCM in rent stands for per calendar month. This is the most common method of calculating rent payments as it divides the cost of rent by the number of months in the year. Most landlords and tenants use PCM when negotiating leases as it is easy to understand and avoids confusion about how much to pay each month.

Question 7

Can foreigners rent in London?

Accepted Answer

This depends on a number of factors, such as the landlord's preferences and the foreigner's immigration status. Generally, most landlords will not rent to foreigners who do not have a valid visa. However, there are some exceptions and some landlords may be willing to rent to foreigners with a work permit or student visa, and in Spotahome we have plenty of such properties available for rent.
