How much can my Victoria property earn on Airbnb?

A well-presented one-bedroom apartment in Victoria typically earns £3,500–£6,000 gross per month, depending on specification and walking distance to the station. Mansion block flats with lift access perform strongly with corporate guests.

Is short-term letting allowed in Victoria?

Yes. Victoria follows London's standard 90-night rule for entire-home short-term lettings. Beyond 90 nights per calendar year, planning consent may be required from the City of Westminster, which monitors short lets closely. Staymo tracks your nights and keeps the calendar 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 Victoria earns more

Victoria carries three separate demand engines at once. The station moves Gatwick arrivals, coach passengers and southern commuters through it every day. Government departments and their contractors fill weekday beds. And Buckingham Palace, St James's Park and Westminster Abbey are close enough to walk to, which keeps leisure bookings strong through the weekend.

What makes Victoria different

Government and contract work

Departments, agencies and the consultancies that serve them sit within a few streets. Their staff arrive on secondments and project cycles that run for weeks, book early and rebook, and they treat a serviced apartment as the default alternative to a hotel.

The airport and coach gateway

The Gatwick Express and the coach station put a large share of arriving visitors here first. First-night and last-night bookings are steady, insensitive to season and often made within 48 hours, which keeps rates firm midweek and in January.

COMPLIANCE

What Victoria landlords need to know

Regulations in Victoria fall under the City of Westminster 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.
