What makes Belgravia different
International high-net-worth guests
Belgravia draws diplomats, international business visitors, and wealthy families who want privacy, discretion, and a London address that matches their expectations. These guests typically book longer stays and expect premium service throughout.
Seasonal luxury demand
The London social season (May to July) consistently drives up rates across Belgravia. Christmas and New Year attract affluent domestic and international guests wanting a central, prestigious base for the festive period.

COMPLIANCE
What Belgravia landlords need to know
Regulations in Belgravia fall under Westminster City Council and the standard Greater London short-let framework. We handle the detail. Here's what matters.
Greater London
90
nights per
calendar year
The 90-night rule
Under the Deregulation Act 2015 you can let your entire home short-term for up to 90 nights per calendar year without planning permission. Beyond that, you'd apply to your council for a change of use.
Staymo tracks your nights and keeps you informed.
Leasehold & freeholder rules
Many properties here are leasehold. Check your lease before proceeding — some restrict short-term letting or require freeholder consent. We'll help you understand exactly what to look for during your first call.
Safety requirements
A Gas Safety Certificate (annual), an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), and working smoke & carbon monoxide alarms. We confirm what's in place during your property assessment.
Tax & income reporting
Income from short-letting must be declared to HMRC via Self Assessment. You may be eligible for the property income allowance or Rent a Room relief — worth discussing with your accountant.
