In short: Short lets in London range from serviced apartments and aparthotels to furnished flats let by the month and holiday lets. Whole homes can only be let short term for up to 90 nights a calendar year without planning permission, so longer stays often use serviced apartments or company lets. Book through reputable platforms or agents, never pay by bank transfer to an unknown landlord, and check what's included. Fraser Bond can help with furnished and corporate lets.
