G20 Summit and Michael Jackson prove popular for short lets

With the impending arrival of 37 world leaders and their entourages to the Excel, Dockland's Award winning Estate Agency, Movello has been busy helping TV companies including the BBC secure apartments to film the events taking place for the G20 Summit. Movello Managing Director, Angus Edy commented "The TV companies had specific requirements such as elevated views of the Excel Centre as well as line of site to the O2 where most of the outside broadcast facilities will be based. There was only a couple of developments that met the criteria and we have been working hard to secure the right apartments. Another interesting enquiry we had this week was from the sound engineers who will be working on the record breaking run of Michael Jackson shows at the O2. They are looking for an apartment for the full six months of the shows and may be able to get hold of some free tickets to the shows as part of the deal! We have a number of corporate clients with requirements in Canary Wharf at the moment. Interested landlords should contact Movello. " Short lets work well for both landlords and corporate or professional tenants. For landlords the rent received is significantly higher than for a long let and for tenants the cost can be significantly less than an extended hotel stay and offers more spacious accommodation.
