Frequently asked questions

The basics

+ What does a London Airbnb management company handle?
Everything between guests, end to end. Prime Host builds and optimises your listing across the major platforms, sets nightly prices, screens and messages guests around the clock, manages check-in and check-out, and handles housekeeping, fresh linen, restocking, maintenance and safety compliance — all reported through one owner dashboard so you stay hands-off but fully informed.
+ What platforms will my property be listed on?
We list across the major booking platforms — Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia — and, where it suits the property, UK portals like Rightmove, Zoopla and SpareRoom for mid-term stays. Everything is synced through a single channel manager so availability and pricing stay consistent and you never get a double-booking.
+ Does Prime Host manage Airbnb properties across all London neighbourhoods?
Yes — we manage short and mid-term lets right across London, from Mayfair, Kensington, Chelsea and Belgravia to Canary Wharf, King's Cross, Shoreditch and beyond. Our local knowledge of each area's demand, guest profile and pricing is part of what keeps your calendar full at the right rate.
+ Can I still use my property while Prime Host manages it?
Absolutely — it's your home. You can block out any dates you like through your dashboard for personal use, and we simply work around them. Many owners live in the property part of the year and let it the rest.
+ What happens if a guest damages my property?
You’re covered. Every stay carries up to £3 million of damage protection for guest-caused damage to your property and its contents. If damage does happen, we manage the claim and the repair for you — so a difficult guest never becomes your problem.

Pricing and returns

+ How much does holiday-home management cost in London?
We charge a single commission of your booking revenue — typically around 20%, confirmed after a quick income assessment — with no monthly retainer, so we only earn when you do. Cleaning, linen and consumables are recharged at cost, and there are no setup or listing fees.
+ Is Airbnb still profitable in London given the current situation?
Yes, for the right property, managed properly. London remains one of the world's strongest short-let markets, and while the 90-night entire-home cap and registration rules shape how you operate, they don't remove the upside — they reward hosts who price dynamically, maintain high standards and stay compliant. Many owners also blend short and mid-term lets to keep income flowing beyond the 90 nights.

Regulations and strategy

+ Do I need a tourist-apartment licence to rent in London?
London doesn't operate a tourist-apartment licence like some cities, but entire-home short lets are capped at 90 nights per calendar year across all platforms under the Deregulation Act 2015, and going beyond that needs planning permission for change of use. A national short-let registration scheme is also being introduced. We keep you compliant with all of it.
+ Can Prime Host help me understand the short-let registration requirements?
Yes — navigating the 90-night entire-home cap, the forthcoming registration scheme, planning rules, leasehold or mortgage conditions and safety compliance is exactly what we do daily. We'll explain what applies to your specific property and manage the practical side so you stay on the right side of the rules.
