When renting a property, it’s important to understand the terms of your tenancy agreement and what is permitted during your tenancy. One area that often causes confusion is subletting or allowing paying guests to stay at the property.

Spring is one of the most magical times of year in Dulwich and Herne Hill. As the days grow longer and the parks begin to bloom, the neighbourhood fills with families enjoying the Easter holidays together. From creative workshops to egg hunts and outdoor trails, there’s plenty happening locally to keep little ones entertained.

With mortgage rates steadier and spring listings emerging, March 2026 offers buyers a balanced window before peak competition intensifies.
