Short-term lets

Fully-managed short-let operations for London landlords. Higher yields than AST rentals when done right — without the 3am guest calls, cleaning coordination, or Airbnb account stress.

02.03 — Short-Term Lets

Hotel standards, landlord income.

Done well, short-letting in London can yield 30–60% more than a standard AST. Done badly, it's a part-time job with tax implications most landlords don't anticipate.

We run short-let properties end to end: listings on Airbnb, Booking.com and direct channels; dynamic pricing; guest vetting and communication; professional turnovers; linen service; breakage management; and monthly accounting. You get the yield. We do the work.

We're fully compliant with the London 90-day rule, planning permissions where applicable, and the incoming short-let registration scheme.

Questions

Frequently asked

What's the London 90-day rule?
In Greater London, you can let a whole property on a short-term basis for up to 90 nights per calendar year without planning permission. Beyond that, you need planning consent for change of use. We track your nights carefully and can also advise on planning if you want to exceed the limit.
Will my mortgage allow short-letting?
Most standard buy-to-let mortgages prohibit short-letting without consent. We help you check your lender's position and can recommend specialist short-let mortgage brokers if you need to refinance. Don't rely on your current lender looking the other way — they check.
What about the short-let registration scheme?
The UK government has legislated for a short-term let registration scheme. We register every property we manage and update as regulations evolve. Compliance is built into the service.
How much will I actually make?
Net yield depends on location, condition, seasonality. In prime London we typically see 25–45% higher net income than AST after all costs (management, cleaning, OTA fees, utilities, linen). We build a personalised projection before you commit.
What if I want to use the property myself?
Easy. Block out dates in the calendar, we'll handle cleaning before and after. Many owners use their own properties for a few weeks a year and short-let the rest.
