Stop handing 15-25% of every booking to a management company.
Airbnb takes the bookings - nobody looks after the licence. SelfLet Stays is the compliance layer for UK hosts: STL licensing conditions tracked per jurisdiction, guided fire and legionella risk assessments, changeover checklists, iCal sync with Airbnb and VRBO, commission-free direct bookings, and per-channel finances that show what the platforms really cost you. Built for the way UK regulations actually work.

Scotland already requires STL licensing. England's registration scheme is incoming. Wales has occupancy thresholds and council tax premiums of up to 300%. Your management company may or may not be keeping up. You need to know for yourself.
STL licensing mandatory since October 2022. Three licence types, mandatory fire safety conditions, public liability insurance required. Edinburgh has an STL control area requiring separate planning permission.
National registration scheme expected 2025/2026. London enforces the 90-day rule. Article 4 directions spreading to Bath, York, Brighton, and the Lake District.
Statutory licensing scheme introduced 2024. 182-day occupancy threshold. Councils can charge up to 300% council tax premium on second homes and holiday lets.
Four steps from signup to fully managed.
Address, rates, check-in/out times, Wi-Fi, key safe code, listing URLs. One form, everything captured.

Changeover checklists, guest database, booking finances, occupancy tracking, and AI assistant for compliance questions.
16 compliance items tracked per property, auto-seeded by jurisdiction. STL licence, planning permission, gas safety, EICR, EPC, fire safety, smoke and CO alarms, PAT, legionella RA, public liability insurance, ICO registration, and more.
Visual month calendar with colour-coded booking overlays per property. Import calendars from Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com via iCal. Export your SelfLet calendar to sync the other way. One view across all channels.
Guest database with contact details, booking history, and stay count. Returning guests linked automatically by email. Build your own guest list instead of relying on Airbnb's.
12-item default checklist per changeover: strip beds, clean bathrooms, clean kitchen, vacuum, dust, restock consumables, damage check, empty bins, check appliances, reset key safe, flush water system, test alarms. Customisable per property.
Income tracked automatically from bookings. Per-property and per-channel breakdowns, nights booked, average nightly rate, and net figures after platform fees. Know exactly what each property earns.
Every property gets a public page on SelfLet Stays. Share one link that shows guests your property, links to all your platform listings, and offers direct booking with zero commission.
SelfLet Stays is not trying to replace Airbnb or VRBO. They are brilliant at getting guests through the door. But when a guest comes back, or when someone finds you through word of mouth, why pay 15% commission?
Your SelfLet Stays property page links to all your platform listings and offers a direct booking option. Guests choose. You keep the revenue.
Most STL tools are built for the US market. SelfLet Stays is built for UK compliance from day one.
