Making a move to Shepherd’s Bush?

In recent years Shepherd’s Bush has benefitted from the addition of Westfield – a Londoner’s shopping paradise – and new transport hubs. It’s perhaps no surprise then that the asking rent of a two bed flat has increased by 14% since 2008, to £1,599 per month.

Rightmove, the UK’s busiest property website, takes a look at some examples of two bed pads that agents have available to rent in the area, depending on your budget:

This split-level two-bed for £4,312 per month has an incredible kitchen, perfect if you are thinking of inviting the neighbours round for a dinner party:

This apartment, on the market for £1,950 per month has direct access onto a beautiful roof terrace, ideal for a barbeque in the summer and perhaps a few G&Ts!:

Matthew James, Head of Communications at Rightmove, comments:

“Shepherd’s Bush as a residential area has a lot going for it at the minute – a massive shopping centre, music venue and various transport links all on your doorstep.  The transformation of W12 over the past few years is reflected in the price rises, but you can still find a number of affordable places to rent.”
