In common with many professional operators across the short-let industry – including ourselves – Airbnb has backed the UK Government proposal for registration for the sector.
According to their news page, the vast majority of UK Hosts operate just one listing, often their main home, typically earning around £6,000 a year.
Amanda Cupples, General Manager for Northern Europe at Airbnb, said, “Hosting provides vital income to many families across Britain as the cost of living continues to rise. Clear and simple rules are good news for everyone and will help more families share their homes to boost their income, while making communities stronger.”
We look forward to all operators sharing a level playing field, ensuring guests have full oversight over their accommodation. and can stay with confidence when it comes to safety and compliance.
