Cynthia Riet Exp

Th Diva here, with your London Property update — and today I'm talking Airbnb.
When somebody tells you what a London Airbnb can earn, there's one question I want you to ask:
Is that revenue — or profit?
Because they're very different things.
Cleaning, laundry, utilities, platform fees, maintenance, occupancy and management all affect what actually ends up in your pocket.
And before considering short-term letting, you also need to understand the rules affecting your particular property.
Airbnb can be a fantastic strategy for the right property — but the numbers have to work.
I'm Cynthia from Diva Property Services — sales, lettings and Airbnb.”

Property Minds, Powerful Connections ✨

A great evening at the Mastermind Event, organised by .realestate

It was wonderful to connect with fellow eXp agents and property professionals, exchange ideas and hear different perspectives from across the industry.

Property may be built on bricks and mortar, but success is also built through knowledge, collaboration and strong professional relationships. There is always something valuable to learn when ambitious people come together and share their experiences.

Thank you to The Org for bringing everyone together for such an engaging evening.

BANK RATE HELD—but the London property market is still shifting.

The Bank of England has kept Bank Rate at 3.75%, although three policymakers voted for an increase to 4%.

Meanwhile:

🏠 London sale prices are down 3.3% annually
🔑 Only 42% of London listings are finding a buyer
⏳ The average time to secure a buyer has reached 78 days
📈 Average London rent is now £2,332 per month—up 3.5%

For sellers, this is not the time to “test the market” with an inflated asking price. For landlords, strong rental figures still need to be checked against live local comparables.

Selling, buying, letting or reviewing your portfolio? Contact The Diva for a practical, evidence-led strategy tailored to your property.

BEFORE THE PROPERTY…
COMES THE PREPARATION...

Before a property can be marketed, developed, rented or enjoyed, it sometimes needs the kind of hard work people rarely see.

This site was completely overgrown. The hedge had to be cut right back, years of dense vegetation cleared, and enormous, deeply established stumps and root systems managed.

This was not a light garden tidy-up. It was demanding, physical site clearance—bag after bag of green waste.

The result? A previously restricted and overgrown space has now been cleared, opened up and made accessible for the next stage.

Why is an estate agent showing you this?

Because Diva Property Services.uk understands the entire property journey—not only selling and letting property, but helping owners prepare, improve, maintain and unlock its potential.

Stage One: complete. There is much more to come.

WE DON’T JUST MARKET PROPERTY.
WE HELP UNLOCK ITS POTENTIAL.
Congratulations to the team for their hard work and an amazing job! ✅

The Diva here, with your London property update for the week.
Landlords, I've got one simple question for you today:
Would you rent your own property?
And I don't mean just because the rent looks attractive.
Walk through the front door as though you're the tenant.
Is it clean? Is it well maintained? Do the appliances work properly? Are those little repairs you've been meaning to do still waiting?
And then there's the part tenants can't necessarily see — compliance.
Are the required checks, certificates and documentation actually up to date?
Today's tenants have expectations, choices and rights. A well-presented, well-managed property doesn't just help attract tenants — it can help you retain good ones.
So before asking, ‘How much rent can I get?’, perhaps ask:
‘Would I be happy living here myself?’
If you're a London landlord and you'd like a fresh pair of eyes on your property, let's have a conversation.
This is Cynthia, aka The Diva from Diva Property Services.uk

An evening well spent ✨
Tonight was about more than property. A lovely dinner at Circolo Popolare, Rathbone Place, with a fabulous group of women in estate agency — sharing stories, exchanging insights, talking business, laughing and getting to know one another beyond the day-to-day.
There’s something very special about women in the same industry coming together, sharing experiences and supporting each other. 🏡🥂
Great food, great conversation and even better company — and that dessert certainly deserved its own photograph! 😂🍰
Here’s to more evenings like this. ❤️

The Diva here with your London property update.
Thinking of selling this autumn? Price carefully.
Buyer confidence remains fragile, properties are taking longer to sell, and London’s market is challenging. However, mortgage activity is improving, and buyers are still out there—though increasingly price-conscious.
Price your property realistically, present it beautifully and have a clear marketing strategy from day one.

Diva Property Services. See you next week.
