Before you list, check London-wide rules and Croydon Council guidance. Compliance typically covers planning/permissions, building & fire safety, and tax/record-keeping.
• Planning/permissions: Most low-impact short stays are acceptable, but some buildings/uses need planning approval. Check any Article 4 controls, your lease/freeholder or block rules, and obtain written consent if required.
• Safety/building: Fit interlinked smoke alarms; add CO alarms where gas/solid fuel is present; keep escape routes clear. Hold valid Gas Safety certificate and EICR; consider PAT for appliances. Display house rules and emergency info.
• Tax/records: Airbnb income is taxable. Track income/allowable expenses; review council tax vs business rates if use changes; keep receipts/occupancy logs and maintain suitable STR insurance.
