Why Notting Hill earns more
Notting Hill has a global reputation that outstrips most London postcodes — thanks to Portobello Road, the Carnival and the genuine character of the neighbourhood. Guests come from around the world specifically to stay here, and the mix of upscale period housing, boutique streets and lively market culture drives nightly rates that consistently outperform neighbouring postcodes.

What makes Notting Hill different
Leisure and cultural guests
Notting Hill draws international guests who want to experience the neighbourhood as much as the city. Weekend demand is driven by Portobello Market, the independent restaurant scene and the area's boutique atmosphere. Carnival weekend is the single biggest booking peak in the area.
Film and media industry stays
The area's entertainment industry connections and creative reputation attract film crews, talent on location and media professionals needing a character-rich base for extended stays.

What Notting Hill landlords need to know
Regulations in Notting Hill fall under the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea 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.
