In short: Short-let managers handle listings, pricing, guest communication, cleaning and linen, usually for a percentage of booking income. In London, letting a whole home short-term is limited to 90 nights a calendar year without planning permission, which caps income. You also need permission under your lease, mortgage and insurance. For many owners, a long let with full management gives steadier income with less wear. Fraser Bond specialises in long-let full management and can compare both options for you.
