Best Areas for Short-Let ROI in London
Where nightly rates, occupancy and purchase prices line up best for landlords right now — and the neighbourhoods to watch next.
Not every London postcode performs the same way as a short-let. Nightly rate is only half the story: occupancy, cleaning turnaround costs and the length of the average stay all move the final number a landlord actually banks each month.
What actually drives yield
Proximity to transport, a genuine weekday demand driver (offices, hospitals, universities) and a weekend leisure pull are the three factors we look at first. A property with only one of the three tends to see sharp seasonal dips.

The honest caveat
Income projections vary by property, location and season. Two flats on the same street can perform very differently depending on layout, light and photography. We'll always give you a realistic estimate rather than a best-case one.
