Yes, foreigners can rent longer stay rentals in London. Renting accommodation in London as a foreigner is a common practice, and there are generally no legal restrictions preventing foreigners from renting apartments or other types of housing for extended periods.
When renting a longer stay rental in London as a foreigner, you will typically be required to provide certain documents and meet specific requirements, similar to what is expected of local residents. These requirements may include:
Identification: You will need to provide a valid form of identification, such as a passport or national identity card.
Proof of Income: Landlords often require proof of income to ensure that you can afford the rent. This may include pay stubs, employment contracts, or bank statements. Alternatively, if you're a student or unemployed, you might need a guarantor who can provide proof of income.
References: Some landlords may request references from previous landlords or employers to vouch for your reliability as a tenant. If you don't have UK-based references, international references may suffice.
Security Deposit: You will likely be asked to pay a security deposit, typically equivalent to one or two months' rent, which is refundable at the end of the tenancy if the property is in good condition.
Rental Contract: You will need to sign a tenancy agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the rental agreement. It's essential to review the contract carefully before signing and to ensure that you understand your rights and obligations as a tenant.
Residence Status: While being a foreigner doesn't necessarily prevent you from renting in London, you might need to demonstrate your legal right to reside in the UK. This could include having a valid visa, residency permit, or other relevant documentation.
It's also worth noting that some landlords or rental agencies may have specific requirements or preferences, so it's essential to inquire about the rental process and any necessary documentation when searching for accommodation in London as a foreigner. Working with a reputable real estate agency or rental platform can help facilitate the rental process and ensure that you find suitable accommodation.

Private student accommodation can offer flexibility in terms of contract length and lease options.

Host families offer room and board in their homes and may also provide meals and support. Homestays can be arranged through specialized agencies or platforms, and they offer a more personalized and supportive living environment.
Shared Housing (House Shares): Renting a room in a shared house or apartment is a common option for students in London.

Members of the cooperative collectively manage the housing and participate in decision-making processes. Cooperatives often emphasize values such as affordability, sustainability, and community engagement.
