Young London is part of Young Group – Private Rented Sector specialists who invest, finance, asset manage and regularly carry out research in the sector.

Run by accountants and surveyors, since its inception Young London has questioned and interrogated all elements of the ‘traditional’ estate agency model and tries to look at everything afresh. Our underlying philosophy is to focus on relationships with landlords and tenants, rather than individual transactions, through delivering ‘amazing’ levels of customer service.

Run by accountants and surveyors, all of Young London’s rental property is also fully managed, providing landlords and tenants with the security that their property will be exceptionally well maintained. From a central London location, Young London’s multiple award-winning team lets and manages property across the capital’s travel zones 1 and 2, typically renting from £280 per week upwards.

Young London is proud to be actively driving enhanced standards within the private rented sector and providing ‘amazing service’ is inherent in all we do; it’s reflected in our low void periods, the number of tenants and landlords who refer us and our high rate of tenancy renewals.

Young London is also proud to be a founding firm of the SAFE agent consumer kitemark (www.safeagents.co.uk) highlighting the importance of Client Money Protection.
