“It’s a great money making scheme for sure if you are happy with people staying in your home.”
Tennis players are paying a fortune to rent houses near Wimbledon - even if they’re knocked out early and go home. Louisa Blenkiron, a resident in the area, says people charge around £16,000 for three weeks.
The 45-year-old artist said: “People charge around £16,000 to rent their house and then go off on holiday. Sometimes tennis players who are staying there get knocked out in the first round so they leave after just a few days but still pay the full amount.
