How much can my Limehouse property earn on Airbnb?

A well-presented one-bedroom apartment in Limehouse typically generates £2,900–£5,000+ gross per month, depending on the property's specification, exact location and seasonality. Marina-facing units and those closest to the DLR achieve the strongest returns.

Is short-term letting allowed in Limehouse?

Yes. Limehouse 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 Limehouse earns more

Limehouse sits between Canary Wharf and Regent's Canal, giving it a mix of business travellers commuting to the financial district and leisure guests drawn to the marina. Limehouse Basin's moored boats and waterside cafes create a residential feel that's rare so close to a major business district. DLR connections mean guests can reach Canary Wharf, the City or the airport within minutes, supporting consistently strong weekday occupancy.

What makes Limehouse different

Canary Wharf business stays

Limehouse's DLR links put Canary Wharf's banks and law firms minutes away, making it a practical base for business travellers who want a quieter, residential setting than the tower blocks of the Wharf itself.

COMPLIANCE

What Limehouse landlords need to know

Regulations in Limehouse 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.
