Short-Let Management in London
London is the UK's largest — and most regulated — serviced accommodation market. Avalora manages the 90-night rule, clients and pricing so your short-let performs without the admin.
Why London works for short-lets
Tourism, corporate relocations, West End theatre and constant business travel keep London occupancy consistently high across almost every postcode.

Short-let management in London — your questions answered
How much does Airbnb management cost in London?
We charge a single, all-inclusive management fee taken from the booking income — no set-up fees, no lock-in tie and no charge in months your property sits empty. The fee covers listing creation, dynamic pricing, client communication, check-ins, cleaning coordination, linen, maintenance oversight and monthly owner statements. We'll quote your exact rate once we've seen the property and the London comparables.
How much can my London property earn on Airbnb?
It depends on bedrooms, location and finish, so we never quote blind. We pull live occupancy and nightly-rate data for comparable London listings, apply realistic seasonality, deduct running costs and give you a net figure to compare against your current long-let rent — in writing, before you commit to anything.
Do I need a licence or planning permission to short-let in London?
Rules vary by council and change regularly — Scotland requires a short-term let licence, London applies a 90-night limit, and other councils are consulting on registration schemes. We check the current position for your specific London address, tell you plainly what applies, and handle applications and paperwork where one is needed.
How hands-off is it really?
Completely. Once we've onboarded your London property we handle listings, pricing, enquiries, check-ins, cleaning, linen, restocking, reviews and maintenance call-outs. You get a monthly statement and your payout — nothing else is required from you unless you want to be involved.
What happens if a client damages my property?
Every stay is vetted before arrival, deposits or damage cover are held on qualifying bookings, and our local London team inspects the property after each checkout. If something is damaged we document it, claim through the platform's protection scheme and arrange the repair for you.
Can I still use the property myself?
Yes. Owner stays are blocked out in the calendar whenever you want them — just give us a little notice so we can protect your pricing and avoid turning away high-value bookings.
