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-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.
