Why Camberwell earns more
Camberwell has become an increasingly popular South London rental market thanks to its combination of characterful homes, strong transport links and proximity to central London. With connections via Denmark Hill, Loughborough Junction and nearby Elephant & Castle, the area attracts professionals, students, academics, hospital staff, visiting families and business travellers looking for more space and better value than central neighbourhoods.
Its proximity to King's College Hospital, the Maudsley Hospital, Goldsmiths University and popular areas including Peckham, Brixton and London Bridge creates a broad and consistent mix of short and mid-term demand, helping maintain healthy occupancy throughout much of the year.

COMPLIANCE
What Camberwell landlords need to know
Regulations in Camberwell generally fall under Southwark Council 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.
