With beautifully refurbished one, two and three bedroom apartments available to rent and a dedicated on-site manager, Palace Wharf in Fulham is one of West
London’s most desirable locations
‘Whatever the issue – an essential boiler repair, a light bulb that needs changing, even the weekly shop that has to be signed for and put in the fridge – we have a Building Manager on site to help,’ says Stuart Birke, Residential Land’s Head of Lettings. ‘And if there’s ever a problem outside office hours, our tenants can call a 24-hour emergency line and we’ll respond immediately. It’s all part of the service.’
That level of conscientious care is a key reason why Residential Land is one of London’s leading specialist property companies and an award-winning professional landlord. At Palace Wharf on Fulham’s riverside, as at all its major sites across the metropolis, a Building Manager is always on hand as a friendly, visible contact.
‘The Building Manager is available Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm,’ explains Stuart. ‘Their job is to solve problems both large and small and make sure that our tenants’ lives run as smoothly as possible: they manage all the maintenance and cleaning contractors that come and go and can be contacted by email or phone, a WhatsApp message or by popping into the office.’
Palace Wharf is a striking former marble warehouse with a spectacular riverside location. It was built in 1907, replacing a malt house, and an extension facing Rainville Road was added in 1933. For many years the wharf was home to the Rathbone Works; this was a warehouse owned by George Jackson & Sons, a fibrous plaster and marble business which made the plasterwork for Hammersmith’s re-built Lyric Theatre.
Residential Land has a portfolio of 16 apartments at Palace Wharf. ‘We have a good mix of one, two and three bedroom properties which are all available on flexible rental terms,’ says Stuart. ‘It’s also a key part of the Building Manager’s role to liaise with prospective tenants, whether families, sharers, students or corporate clients. If someone wants to view an apartment, they will be more than happy to show them around.’
While the original exterior character of the wharf has been cleverly preserved, the apartments themselves have been refurbished with meticulous attention to detail. ‘From top to bottom, they have been completed to the highest standard by our own expert in-house design team,’ confirms Stuart. ‘They are all iPad-controlled Smart homes with state-ofthe- art Miele appliances, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, digital video door entry system, even de-mister pads behind the mirrors. Many have wonderful river views and we’ve deliberately retained the lovely high ceilings and Crittall double-glazed windows to keep that distinctive warehouse feel.
‘Most importantly, the tenants can always deal directly with the Building Manager. That means the apartments can easily be tailored to their specific needs; for example, if they prefer a semi-furnished or unfurnished space, we can just remove some or all of the furniture. We try our best to accommodate all requests.’
Currently, all sizes of apartment at Palace Wharf are available for rent and new tenants can be assured of Residential Land’s thorough personal service. As Stuart says: ‘We take great pride in helping to get everything organised and making life simple for our tenants. You name it, and we’ll try to do it!’
