Buyer guide · London
Can you rent out a branded residence in London?
Owners may let. In Greater London, using a home for short stays needs planning permission once it exceeds 90 nights in a calendar year, or if no one providing the accommodation is liable for its council tax (Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1973, section 25A, added by the Deregulation Act 2015).
4 branded residences in London on our list have published letting terms; at The Residences at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, The Residences at The Westin London City and The Whiteley by Six Senses the hotel or operator is involved in letting. A building's own rules and its owners' association can be stricter than the law, so the terms of the building come first.
This is a summary, not legal advice; a lawyer in the UK should check the title and the terms before any deposit.
