Short-let management by a team that also does long lets, so you get the honest answer

We run your flat or cottage on Airbnb, Booking.com and direct bookings: pricing from head office, guests and cleaning through your local team, compliance, statements. And because we manage long lets too, our appraisal tells you which model earns more at your address, and whether a short let is allowed there at all: the 90-night rule in London, the 182-night test and visitor register in Wales, the planning position wherever you are.

If the numbers change, the model changes. Your agent doesn't.

Short-let demand is seasonal and the rules keep moving. A Gower cottage that works brilliantly on Airbnb from May to September may earn more as a long let in a flat winter. A London flat hits its 90 nights by August and needs a let of 90 nights or more for the rest of the year. A council brings in a planning condition that changes the maths. With us, any short let can move to a longer let or a tenancy, or back, without re-onboarding, new paperwork or a new agent. Co-hosts can't offer that because they don't do long lets; high-street agents can't because they don't do short lets.

Our 90-day promise

If your property has six months or more of booking history and your net owner income in the first 90 days of Full SA Management is lower than your own figures for the same 90 days last year, we refund that quarter's management fee. Conditions in writing before you sign.

Plus: 30 days' notice to leave, no exit fee, your listings and reviews stay yours.

Is it allowed?

The things we check before anyone lists a property

London: the 90-night rule

A whole home in Greater London can be let short-term for 90 nights a year without planning permission. Beyond that it needs consent, which boroughs rarely give. Our London offer runs the 90 nights of short stays, then switches to lets of 90 nights or more (contractors, relocations, students) or a tenancy. Shorter "mid-term" stays still count towards the 90.

Planning use class

Wales has a separate use class for short-term lets (C6), and councils can require planning permission through an Article 4 direction. England is consulting on the same. Your lease or mortgage may also forbid nightly letting. We check your address.

Business rates tests

Wales: available 252 nights and let 182 to be rated as a business rather than paying council tax (with a second-home premium if you miss). England: available 140 nights and let 70. We track it and tell you in good time if you're short.

Registers and levies

Wales: the visitor accommodation register opened on 1 October 2026; existing providers must register by 31 March 2027, new ones before their first guest, and councils can add a visitor levy from April 2027. England: a national short-let register is on the way. We handle registration and the returns either side of the border.

Safety and insurance, everywhere

Fire risk assessment, gas safety, EICR, PAT testing, and an insurance policy that actually covers paying guests. Many standard landlord policies don't. We'll put the rules that apply to your property in writing as part of the appraisal. This page is a summary, not legal advice.

Quick calculator

Rough numbers in ten seconds. Real numbers in the appraisal.

Change the figures to match your property. The short-let line deducts 15% platform fees, your bills, cleaning at £45 a turnover and our 18% management; the long-let line deducts our capped 12% fee. Tick the London box to cap the year at 90 nights.

Illustrative only. The appraisal uses real Swansea booking data for comparable properties and your actual costs.
