Our services
Short-let compliance & safety
The rules around short-letting are tightening, and when something is missed the penalty lands on the owner, not the platform. We tell you exactly what your let needs and check it is in place before you go live, so you can host with confidence.
What's included
Everything handled, properly
Gas & electrical safety
We ask for your current gas safety certificate (CP12) and electrical report (EICR) before your property goes live, and tell you exactly what is missing or due.
Fire safety & safe furnishings
Smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms, fire-risk basics and fire-resistant furniture requirements checked against current short-let guidance.
The March 2027 short-term let register
England’s national register is expected to open in March 2027. We are tracking it so the homes we manage are ready to register as soon as it opens.
Planning and change of use
We check the planning position for your address before you commit. In Manchester the council’s Article 4 directions cover HMOs and office conversions, not short lets, but full-time letting can still be a change of use.
Agreements & guest screening
Short-stay rental agreements, ID verification and damage protection on every booking: the compliance layer that protects your lease and your neighbours.
Clear requirements
A plain list of the certificates, insurance and registrations your property needs, so you know what to keep current and when.
Compliance is not the exciting part of short-letting, but getting it wrong is expensive. We hold your property to the same standard we hold our own across Manchester and Cheshire.

FAQ
Common questions about compliance and safety
Is there a night cap on short-lets in Manchester?
No. The 90-night cap applies to Greater London only, and our guide to Airbnb and short-let rules in Manchester covers the planning, safety and tax thresholds that do apply.
When does the short-term let register start?
GOV.UK expects England’s mandatory register to begin in March 2027. It is registration, not a licence. We are following it closely, and when it opens we will tell you exactly what it needs and help you register each home we manage. Our rules guide has the latest position and sources.
Do I need planning permission to short-let in Manchester?
It depends on how the property is used. Letting your own home occasionally rarely needs permission, but running a property full-time as a short let can be a material change of use, and your council decides case by case. We check the position for your address before you commit, and the rules guide explains how councils decide.
Whose responsibility is compliance, mine or yours?
Legally the obligations sit with the owner, and we make them easy to meet: we tell you exactly what is required, ask for current copies before your property goes live and flag anything missing. You stay the owner and keep the certificates current.
