2012 London Summer Olympics and Paralympics Accommodation

The world will be coming to London for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. Have you considered what you will be doing during the Olympics? Maybe some would like to spend the time in an exotic travel destination.  Others may consider a non-simultaneous home exchange while renting their home out. Following are some questions that you may ask before deciding to list your home for rent.

Will the pool of London hotel rooms be able to accommodate the incoming mass of world Olympic spectators coming to London for in the summer 2012?

It is expected that the majority of hotels in London will be fully booked — not by tourists planning to attend the Games, but The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG)  in order to meet its contractual obligations. According to the London 2012 Chairman Lord Sebastian Coe: "Providing a smooth customer experience for athletes, spectators and dignitaries throughout their time at the Games can be a key challenge for any Organising Committee."  Already in April 2008 the  timesonline.co.uk reported that "organisers of the 2012 London Olympics have block-booked 1,925 rooms in some of the capital’s most exclusive hotels for international delegates and their spouses at a cost of £10m."  As the time will pass, more and more hotel rooms will be booked by various organizations and businesses for their representatives and delegates to the Olympics. 

Does it present an opportunity for London home owners to cash on the expected shortage of accommodation?

It definitely does. If you are a property owner in the area of London, or any other of the neighbouring communities, and you want to rent that property out for the duration of the summer games list your Olympics accommodation now.

What will be the accommodation rates for the 2012 London Summer Olympics?

Accommodation pricing is the responsibility of the individual accommodation owners. However, the expected average price per one-bedroom accommodation is about £300 per night.  This, of course, can be higher or lower, depending on the quality of the accommodation, its location, size, etc.

How to make a furnished apartment or a private house visible to the international seekers of affordable, short term accommodation?

To be noticed you need to make yourself visible. List your accommodation in as many places as you can. Keep in mind that even one rental booking that you receive from your listing will be worth many times the cost of your advertising. Make sure to list on websites with high traffic that will bring high number of daily visitors to your listing (see our statistics). You will get better return on a £100 advertising investment at a site that brings you 50 daily visitors, than on a £25 advertising investment at a site that brings you 2 or 3 daily visitors. You can find page view statistics at the bottom of each listing’s at our site (see an example Olympics rental accommodation in London).

When to list 2012 Olympics Accommodation?

The earlier the better.  Early birds usually pay less for advertising then the ones that post their listings just a few months before the Olympics.
