Today’s renters expect more than just four walls and a roof—they want convenience, connectivity, and energy efficiency. In a city like London, where competition for tenants is high and expectations are rising, smart home technology offers landlords a way to stand out, streamline operations, and potentially increase rental yields.
From smart heating controls to keyless entry systems and remote monitoring, installing smart home solutions in your London rental property is no longer futuristic—it’s strategic. At Fraser Bond, we help landlords implement the right smart technologies, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and tenant satisfaction.
A smart home system integrates connected devices that automate and remotely control aspects of a property’s functionality—often via smartphone apps or voice assistants like Alexa or Google Home.
For landlords, smart tech improves energy efficiency, security, and property access, while reducing manual management and increasing appeal to tech-savvy tenants.
Young professionals and corporate tenants increasingly prefer properties with smart features, particularly in Prime and Zone 2–3 areas.
Smart-enabled flats tend to let faster and command higher rents, especially when integrated with staging and marketing visuals.
Landlords can monitor heating usage, access records, or even provide keyless check-ins without visiting the property.
Smart thermostats and lighting systems contribute to improved EPC ratings—critical for compliance with MEES regulations.
Smart locks and video entry systems deter unauthorised access, protect tenants, and provide audit trails.
