Stay inside London’s 90-night rule

Why it’s harder than it looks
Platform caps don’t add up
Airbnb’s own 90-night cap only sees Airbnb. Nights booked on Booking.com, Vrbo or direct all count towards the same 90.
Going over needs planning permission
Letting for more than 90 nights a year counts as a change of use. Boroughs can also remove the allowance for particular properties or areas.
Safety rules still apply
A written fire risk assessment, an annual gas safety check and suitable alarms apply in London as everywhere else.
