West End theatre district

London's West End hosts 150+ productions annually, drawing 30 million theatre-goers. Show nights drive consistent demand for central London short-lets, especially evenings and weekends.

Major international events

London hosts global events year-round — from the Lord Mayor's Show to Trooping the Colour, Summer Time Festival to Winter Wonderland. Event periods see 2-3x standard rates across central zones.

World-class universities

UCL, Imperial, LSE, King's and dozens more attract 100,000+ international students. Graduation ceremonies, open days and family visits generate premium year-round demand.

Global business hub

The City and Canary Wharf host 500,000+ financial services professionals. Corporate travellers prefer serviced apartments for extended stays, often booking weeks at a time.

90-day planning rule

London enforces a 90-night annual cap on entire-home short-lets without planning permission. Properties must switch to long-let or seek permission after reaching the limit.

Premium international tourism

London attracts 30+ million international visitors annually. Peak seasons (summer, Christmas, half-terms) see 90%+ occupancy with rates 50-80% above annual averages.

The smart alternative

Why short-lets outperform
long-term rentals.

The numbers don't lie. Short-let management consistently outperforms AST tenancies on every metric that matters.

Higher Income

Earn 40-80% more than a traditional long-term tenancy. Short-let pricing flexes with demand, events, and seasons so your property always earns its full potential.

Total Flexibility

Block dates whenever you need your property back. Unlike an AST, you stay in control whether it's a week, a month, or longer.

Consistent Cash Flow

Guests pay upfront, every booking. No rent arrears, no chasing payments, no late deposits. Just clean, predictable income hitting your account.

Better Property Standards

Regular professional cleaning and inspections keep your property in pristine condition, often better maintained than under a long-term tenancy.

No Bad Tenants

Every guest is vetted, ID-verified, and reviewed. No problem tenants, no eviction process, no legal headaches. Just well-screened visitors.

Completely Hands-Free

We handle everything from listing and pricing to guest comms, check-in, and housekeeping. You earn without lifting a finger.
