Sign tenancy with Get Living London in January and receive a year’s free gym membership

[LONDON – 1 January 2015] Potential renters can start the New Year as they mean to go on by choosing a better way of renting in London. Renters of Get Living London’s homes at East Village, the former London 2012 Athletes’ Village, benefit from a hassle-free rental offer with no fees, as well as unprecedented access to world-class sporting facilities in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Renting with Get Living London leaves residents with the money to pursue the important things in life, and the opportunity to improve their fitness and financial state for the year ahead.

Renters with Get Living London will receive:

• Fee-free rental agreement which results in savings of up to £300
• Access to green, open space the size of St James’s Park
• Unparalleled proximity to the sports facilities in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
• For all tenancies signed in January, each applicant will receive a year’s free gym membership at the gyms at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park’s Copper Box Arena & London Aquatics Centre and the East Village gym (due to open in Summer 2015) when they take occupation of their new home before April 30th 2015.[1]

With these added benefits, moving home for the New Year needn’t be a hassle. Get Living London homes are available to rent with no fees or hidden costs; long-term tenancies of one to three years and with the flexibility of resident-only break clauses. With no fees to budget for, residents are able to put the saved money towards something more enjoyable; perhaps a shopping trip to next door Westfield. Residents also benefit from a direct relationship with Get Living London’s team of property experts who are based at East Village seven days a week to quickly respond to residents’ needs.

The London Aquatics Centre, Lee Valley VeloPark, Copper Box Arena and Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre are all just a stone’s throw from the homes at East Village. Follow in the footsteps of Olympic Athletes and visit these iconic sporting venues to get fit this January rather than neglecting your resolutions for another year.

Get Living London residents also have access to a slice of the countryside in the heart of East London as East Village is set in 67 acres, the equivalent size to St James’s Park. The homes sit alongside parklands, play areas, wild flower meadows, wetlands and garden areas perfect for families to enjoy. All of the homes are built around landscaped private courtyard areas for residents and children to relax and play in, so the great outdoors is there for the embracing.

Neil Young, Chief Executive, Get Living London, said “January is a great time to turn over a new leaf by moving home – and where better to kick start a healthy and finance-friendly new year than here at the former Athletes’ Village? We have a range of homes to suit every kind of renter and our dedicated lettings and relationship management teams ensure that our residents are well looked after before and after their move in, so that the whole process is as enjoyable and easy as possible.”

East Village is one of the best connected neighbourhoods in London, with Stratford International and Stratford Regional stations offering over 10 different tube, DLR, Overground and rail lines to London’s key locations.

About Get Living London

Get Living London is a true pioneer in the private rental sector, changing the way London rents. As the residential owner directly managing 1,439 private rental homes in East Village, Get Living London aims to make renting refreshingly straightforward and convenient. In this unique position, Get Living London:

• Doesn’t charge fees: Residents rent directly from Get Living London, rather than through a letting agency, which means there are no admin fees for preparing a tenancy agreement, no initial referencing fees, no fees to renew the lease, no check-in or check-out fees, no debit card fees and no commercial cleaning fees when residents move out (as long as the home is clean and hasn’t been damaged beyond ‘fair wear and tear’). This no fees approach can save renters up to £350.
• Provides long term stability with built-in flexibility: Residents are offered one to three year tenancies, with residents-only break clauses after six months. Annual rent increases within a contract period are linked to the Consumer Prices Index so there are no surprises for residents on a longer contract.
• Ensures a service-oriented approach: The expert relationship management team are on-site at Get Living London’s Management Office seven days a week to ensure any issues are dealt with quickly. The Management Office is open from 8am-8pm Monday to Friday and 9am-6pm at weekends, with an out-of-hours service for emergencies.
