Hi
Just posting the changes to short term lettings legislation in London (Airbnb is the main co) which will allow/restrict Londoners to 90 days max a year for STR. Some councils feel this is still too high and are pushing to have it reduced to 30 days - Westminster Council. I wonder if this will spread across the UK?

Some councils in London will not be bothered but the hotel lobby groups have been hard at work plus the central councils _ Westminster and Camden in particular have been complaining that Airbnb has deprived them of accommodation that could be used for people working/living in the area. I believe the draft legislation still needs to go via the Lords.edinburgh wrote:Indeed.
Changing my flat from residential to a self-catering commercial unit took one letter, and a visit from an inspector. The council didn't care beyond that. That's in Edinburgh
