London's wealthiest renters splash out on homes with pools

Londoners are paying a 10% premium to rent homes with pools, according to estate agents, as overseas breaks appear increasingly unlikely for many Britons this year. Staff at Savills' Richmond office have just let out a house with an asking rent of £4,515 per week. Despite costing well over £200,000 to rent for a year its big selling point was its indoor pool — which attracted 17 viewings from families all over London. “The last time we rented it out we had about six viewings over a couple of months,” said Rory Wallace, a director in Savills' south-west London lettings team.
