The commission is based on the property type and location

We multi-list on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and more, synced calendars and data-led pricing to maximise occupancy and ADR from one dashboard.
Hertfordshire performance generally tracks London averages (≈£160 ADR, ≈71% occupancy, ≈£41,516 annual gross for a well-run 1–2 bed). Homes near fast rail links (Watford Jn, St Albans, Hatfield), hospitals and business parks see strong mid-week corporate demand alongside weekend leisure.



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 local rules — Hertfordshire is outside Greater London’s 90-night scheme, but councils set their own planning and safety requirements.
• Planning/permissions: Confirm use class and any Article 4 directions with your district council (e.g., Watford, St Albans, Hertsmere, Dacorum). Lease/freeholder and mortgage terms may restrict short-lets; change of use may be required for full-time SA.
• Safety/building: Fit smoke/CO alarms, keep clear escape routes; complete EICR (5-year) and Gas Safe (where applicable), plus PAT/legionella controls in line with fire-safety guidance.
• Tax/records: Declare income via Self Assessment; Council Tax vs Business Rates depends on commercial intensity and valuation. Keep accurate guest logs, invoices and waste/commercial compliance.
