Residential Land is planning two summer parties in the garden of it’s Mayfair head office.  The first party, to be held on the 3rd July, will be for the lettings agents who work so hard during the year to rent out the large portfolio of central London flats and houses.  The second party, to be held on the 10th July will be for the agents who help to sell Residential Land’s properties and who introduce new opportunities to the company.

CEO, Bruce Ritchie comments ‘Estate Agents and lettings agents are a key part of our business and we couldn’t operate in the way we do without them.  We would like to take the opportunity to give something back to them and to say thank you.  We have now been in our new head office for a year and this gives the agents a chance to come along, meet the whole team and understand fully what it is we do and how they can get involved’.

Residential Land is prime central London’s largest privately owned landlord and own hundreds of flats and houses to rent across the capital.

If you are an agent who works closely with Residential Land team and would like an invitation to either party please email enquiries@residentialland.com or call Louise on 020 7408 5155

Residential Land, London’s largest privately owned residential landlord were pleased to be able to assist when asked, last Autumn, to find somewhere within their portfolio for the candidates in this years BBC reality television documentary ‘The Apprentice’ to live.  The programme’s makers decided to rent out Portobello Lofts, a new build apartment block located to the north of Notting Hill.  The building benefits from large glass windows, modern interiors and stunning views over the Regents Canal.  The building was a recent purchase for the Residential Land group and with a few minor alterations to make the property ‘television ready’ the filming could begin.

The programmes sees 12 candidates battle it out over twelve weeks to become Sir Alan Sugar’s apprentice winning the opportunity to work in one of Sugar’s many businesses and earn a six figure salary.  The programme is centred around weekly tasks and assignments that see the candidates go head to head ending each week with a boardroom battle and one of the candidates being fired.  The scenes in the house are central to the show often giving the viewers a better understanding of each candidate and their personalities.  Returning from the tasks each day, tensions unfold and arguments often erupt!

This year saw restaurant owner Yasmina Siadatan crowned as Sir Alan’s new apprentice after beating runner-up Kate Walsh.

Many of the apartments in Portobello Lofts are now available to rent individually so, if you would like to follow in the footsteps of the Apprentice candidates and live in ‘The Apprentice House’, click here for more details.  The apartments vary from studio apartments to three bedroom apartments, many have outside space and most have stunning views across London and over the Grand Union Canal.
