The commission is based on the property type and location
Brighton is the UK's most popular seaside city for short breaks, drawing consistent year-round demand from London day-trippers and domestic visitors just one hour by train. The Lanes, the Royal Pavilion and North Laine give the city a distinctive independent character that keeps guests returning season after season. Hove provides a calmer seafront alternative that draws families and longer-stay visitors, while Kemptown is one of the UK's most recognisable LGBTQ+ tourism destinations.
Key events drive concentrated demand spikes throughout the year. Brighton Festival and the Great Escape music festival in May push occupancy well above the annual average in the shoulder season. Pride in August is one of the UK's largest events, generating the highest demand weekend of the year for Brighton and Hove properties. Summer from June to August is the core peak, with weekend rates consistently strong and a reliable year-round floor from London proximity.
Houst lists your Brighton property across Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO and manages all channels from one dashboard. Our dynamic pricing engine adjusts your nightly rate daily against local demand signals, competitor rates and the Brighton event calendar, maximising revenue across every booking window without requiring any manual input from you.
Brighton short-lets average £211 per night at 70% occupancy, equating to around £53,900 in annual gross revenue for a well-run two-bed. Brighton Festival and the Great Escape in May push rates above the annual average in the shoulder season. Pride in August is the city's single biggest demand weekend, with properties across Kemptown, the city centre and the seafront achieving their highest nightly rates of the year. Summer from June to August is the core peak, with consistent weekend demand throughout.
Year-round demand underpins Brighton's short-let market beyond the summer season. London proximity, just one hour by train, drives strong domestic leisure bookings across the full calendar year. The city's independent character, LGBTQ+ identity and cultural calendar attract a repeat-visit guest base that keeps occupancy stable through autumn and winter weekends. Hove provides a steadier, longer-stay demand profile that complements the event-driven patterns of the city centre.
