How much can my Bow property earn on Airbnb?

A well-presented one-bedroom apartment in Bow typically generates £2,500–£4,300+ gross per month, depending on the property's specification, exact location and seasonality. Units close to Victoria Park or the Olympic Park achieve the strongest returns during the summer events season.

Is short-term letting allowed in Bow?

Yes. Bow follows London's standard 90-night rule for entire-home short-term lettings. You can generally let your property for up to 90 nights per calendar year without planning permission. If you intend to exceed this limit, planning consent may be required from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Staymo monitors your bookings and helps keep your property compliant.

How quickly can you get my property live?

Once we have keys, photos and basic safety documentation in place, your property is typically live within 3 days.

What platforms will my property be listed on?

Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and additional platforms based on your property type. All bookings flow into one central calendar visible in your owner dashboard in real time.

How does payment work?

We collect guest payments and transfer your monthly income directly to your nominated bank account. Full revenue, occupancy and booking breakdowns are available in your owner dashboard.

Why Bow earns more

Bow benefits from its position between Victoria Park and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, two of East London's biggest green spaces, while still sitting a short ride from Stratford's Westfield shopping centre and transport hub. Roman Road Market and Bow Wharf give the area a local, residential character that appeals to guests who want to be close to the action without paying Central London prices. Canal-side new-builds add a growing supply of well-specified stock.

COMPLIANCE

What Bow landlords need to know

Regulations in Bow fall under the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and the standard Greater London short-let framework. We handle the detail — here's what matters.

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.
