The team is professional, responsive, and truly understands what it takes to manage short-term rentals effectively.


I’ve been incredibly lucky with Alex Taylor: professional, friendly, and always helpful. He’s handled everything brilliantly - I’d give him 6 stars if I could.


For the past year, my Houst contact has been incredibly helpful - coordinating repairs, upgrades, and even being on-site when needed. Super reliable and accommodating.


The staff is available 24/7. Messages sent are replied to very quickly. The information about the properties is detailed and clear. Everything goes very smoothly.


The house is well maintained and clean, the dashboard provides up to date and historical information & the guests are taken care of.


I have had a brilliant experience renting my property through Houst. Everyone has been very hands on and contactable which has really put me at ease.

Before you list, check London's short-let rules under your local London Borough (and the Greater London 90-night rule). Compliance typically covers permits/planning, building by-laws, safety, and taxes/records.
See the full guide for permits, fees and building restrictions → London short-term rental regulation.
Houst charges 12% for a full-time management plan and 18% for a part-time plan in Borough. There are no upfront fees. Our commission is taken only from confirmed bookings, so you only pay when your property earns.
A two-bedroom property in Borough typically averages a daily rate of £182, an occupancy rate of 81%, and annual revenue of approximately £38,000. Earnings vary by property size, position within the area, and season. June and July are the strongest months for bookings in the area.
Short-term rental compliance in Borough covers three key areas. Permits and permissions: entire-home lets in Greater London are capped at 90 nights per calendar year under the Deregulation Act 2015. Exceeding this limit typically requires planning permission from your local borough council. Safety: follow lease and building by-laws, maintain working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and complete gas and electrical safety checks where applicable. Taxes and records: declare income via HMRC Self Assessment and keep income and expense records. For a full overview, see our London short-term rental regulation guide at houst.com/blog/new-rules-for-short-term-rentals-london.
After an introductory call, Houst arranges a professional photoshoot, writes your listing, and configures dynamic pricing. Once live on Airbnb and partner platforms, our team manages guest communication, check-in coordination, cleaning, and maintenance. You receive weekly payouts and full visibility via your owner dashboard.
