Our pricing data puts a two-bedroom, one-bathroom short let in Richmond at an average of £214 a night with 70% occupancy. That works out at around £54,500 a year before costs. We took four readings across the area, on George Street, Hill Street, Kew Road and The Vineyard, and averaged them. Nightly rates ran from £209 on George Street and Kew Road to £224 on The Vineyard.
Demand peaks in summer, when the riverside and Richmond Park are at their busiest. Rugby internationals at Twickenham Stadium in February, March and November bring weekend spikes, and families visiting Kew Gardens keep the school holidays busy. Figures will vary with size, finish and exact location.
