Why Surrey Quays earns more

Surrey Quays has been transformed by the Canada Water regeneration, bringing new shops, a library and leisure facilities alongside the existing marina and shopping centre. South Dock Marina and Southwark Park give the area genuine outdoor appeal, while the Overground and Jubilee line put the City, Canary Wharf and the West End within a short journey. New-build stock has grown quickly, giving guests a modern, well-specified alternative to older Docklands developments.

COMPLIANCE

What Surrey Quays landlords need to know

Regulations in Surrey Quays fall under the London Borough of Southwark 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.
