Differences in Airbnb Regulations Across UK Cities

Hey everyone! ???? I’ve been considering listing my property on Airbnb, but I’ve heard that the regulations vary significantly depending on the city in the UK. Does anyone have insights on how these rules differ? I’m particularly interested in cities like London, Edinburgh, and Manchester. Thanks in advance!

Hi there! You're right—Airbnb regulations differ across UK cities. In London, there’s a 90-day limit for short-term rentals unless you have specific permissions. However, an option to consider is the guaranteed rent scheme offered by companies like SmartHost. They provide a fixed monthly income regardless of occupancy, handling all aspects of property management. This can be a great way to avoid the hassle of navigating complex regulations while ensuring a steady income. Check out guaranteed rent scheme in london for more details. Good luck with your plans!

The 90-day rule can catch people if they don’t know about it. Edinburgh has also introduced a new licensing system for short-term lets. I believe you now need to apply for a license before you can list your property. It’s part of their effort to manage tourism impact and housing availability.

Thank you all for the recommendations, we will definitely look at the proposals at our leisure.
