Hotel-inspired rental flats arrive in Wembley: all-inclusive Zone 4 build-to-rent homes come with free wifi and gym memberships

With so many Londoners priced out of home ownership, and the enforced lifestyle change boosting the number of private tenants looking for decentquality, fair-priced accommodation from a landlord they can trust, purpose-built rental developments are spreading across the capital.

Up to 15,000 such homes are being built. Part of the appeal is that the rental package can include such extras as free, superfast wifi — almost as important as hot water for the Facebook generation — and free gym membership, plus hotel-inspired services.

Utility bills are often included, too, along with on-site launderettes and communal spaces where residents can meet up to socialise.

Tipi is part of the new district being built around Wembley Stadium, is the latest offering.
