We cover M1, M2, M3, M4, M15, M16, M20, M50 and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Manchester short let rules and compliance
Manchester City Council has signalled interest in short-let regulation and planning enforcement around change of use, so lease terms, freeholder consent and building management rules need checking before launch. We review your lease, confirm safety certification, fit compliant smart access and keep records ready if the council ever asks.
Piccadilly and Victoria stations, three Metrolink lines and Manchester Airport feed constant demand. Apartments within 15 minutes' walk of Deansgate, Ancoats or MediaCity capture both corporate weekdays and event weekends.

What holiday let owners need to know
Holiday lets carry a few requirements a standard tenancy does not. We check each one before onboarding and keep the records for you afterwards.
Furnished holiday let tax changes
The FHL regime was reformed in April 2025. We supply detailed income and expenditure reporting so your accountant can model the current treatment accurately.
Wales licensing and letting thresholds
Welsh councils apply their own rules, and council tax premium relief depends on meeting a minimum number of let nights. We track your night count and tell you where you stand.
Specialist insurance
Holiday let cover differs from both residential and standard landlord policies. We advise on suitable providers and make sure the policy matches how the property is used.
Safety and inspection records
Gas safety, electrical testing, fire risk assessment and periodic inspections are all tracked, with renewals diarised ahead of expiry.
This is general guidance, not legal or tax advice. Always confirm your position with your local council and a qualified accountant.
