Why Walworth earns more
Walworth sits directly south of the Elephant & Castle regeneration zone, one of the largest urban renewal projects in London, bringing new shops, offices and homes within walking distance. East Street Market retains a genuine local character that budget-conscious leisure guests value, while Burgess Park offers green space rarely found this close to Zone 1. Fast bus and Tube links into the City and West End keep the area attractive to guests who prioritise value and connectivity over postcode prestige.

COMPLIANCE
What Walworth landlords need to know
Regulations in Walworth 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.
