Do I need a licence to rent my property on Airbnb in the UK?

It depends on your location. Scotland requires a mandatory short-term let licence since January 2025. England is introducing a compulsory registration scheme expected in 2026. Wales has its own planning requirements. Use our free registration checker to find out what applies to your property.

What fire safety certificates do I need for a holiday let?

At minimum you need a fire risk assessment under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Most properties also need interlinked smoke and heat alarms, fire blankets in kitchens, emergency lighting, and a documented evacuation plan. Requirements vary by nation — use our compliance checklist to see exactly what your property needs.

Does the Airbnb 90-day rule apply outside London?

No. The 90-day cap on short-term lets only applies to entire properties in Greater London boroughs under the Deregulation Act 2015. Properties outside London are not subject to this limit, though Scotland and Wales have separate restrictions. Use our 90-day calculator to track your London bookings.

How much will LetComply cost?

Priced for individual hosts, not enterprise budgets. Designed to cost less than a single hour of consultant time per month. Join the waitlist for early-bird pricing.

Which regions does LetComply cover?

England, Scotland, and Wales. Each nation has different short-term let regulations — LetComply tracks the rules specific to each property's location.

I only have one or two properties. Is this for me?

Yes. Even a single property needs gas safety, EICR, fire risk assessment, EPC, and potentially council registration. LetComply tracks all of it so nothing slips through the cracks.

Six Certificates, Three Nations, Zero Room for Error

Fire safety law, England's mandatory registration scheme, and Scotland's licensing are changing everything. Most hosts aren't ready.

Penalties add up fast

Operating an unlicensed short-term let in Scotland can mean a fine of up to £2,500; breaching London's 90-day planning cap risks an enforcement notice, and ignoring one carries an unlimited fine. Fire safety and gas certificate failures carry their own penalties.

Deadlines from every direction

Gas safety, EICR, fire risk, EPC, insurance, 90-day caps, council registration — each with different renewal cycles.

Three nations, different rules

Scotland has licensing. England is introducing registration. Wales has its own planning rules. Each property may face different obligations.

Platform delisting risk

Missing certificates or registration can get your listings pulled. Insurance may be voided if compliance lapses.

Don't wait for an enforcement letter to get organised.
