A local manager in Newcastle, not a call centre.
Your home in Newcastle is looked after by a local manager from the Houst network who lives and works in the area. One person who knows your home, your guests and you.
One person, not a queue
No ticket numbers and no explaining your home to a stranger every time. Your manager already knows which key sticks and where the stopcock is.
Knows your area
Your manager knows when your city fills up, which streets guests book first, and which trades actually turn up on time.
Eyes on your home
Your home is checked after every stay, and on medium-term stays you get a photo report at least every 30 days, so you never have to wonder how it's looking.
Everything starts with a free discovery call with our team on Google Meet.
What the law asks of you, and what we handle.
Short-let rules change from time to time. Here is what applies in Newcastle, and we'll keep you up to date once your home is live.
Night limits
No cap in NewcastleThe 90-night-a-year limit only applies in London. You can let your Newcastle home for as many nights as you want.
Planning permission
Check before you startLetting a whole home that isn't your main residence all year round can count as a change of use, and Newcastle City Council decides each case on its own facts. We go through this with you, along with your lease and mortgage terms, before your home goes live.
National short-let register
Being introducedEngland is introducing a national register of short-term and holiday lets. Once it's running, booking sites are expected to ask for a registration number on every listing. We'll handle the registration for you.
Safety
We check at onboardingEvery short-let needs a written fire risk assessment and working smoke alarms, plus carbon monoxide alarms where needed and an annual gas safety certificate if there's gas. An EPC is needed if your home is let for four months or more a year, which covers most full-time short-lets. A five-yearly electrical check (EICR) isn't a legal requirement for short lets in England, but Guestwise asks every host for one, and most insurers expect it.
Tax and business rates
Speak to your accountantShort-let income is taxable, and the old furnished holiday let tax rules no longer apply. If your home is available for 140 nights or more a year and actually let for 70 or more, it may pay business rates instead of council tax.
Renters' Rights Act
No tenancy, no ASTGuests stay under a licence for up to 30 days at a time with a set checkout date. We keep access to clean and inspect your home, and on medium-term stays we photograph it at least every 30 days. What landlords in England can do now.
Newcastle landlords ask us.
How much could my Newcastle home earn?
The answer depends on your home's size, street and the time of year. Get your free instant valuation at the top of this page, and we'll talk you through the detail on a free call.
Is there a limit on how many nights I can let in Newcastle?
No. The 90-night limit only applies in London. Newcastle has no cap on nights, although planning rules and your lease still apply.
My flat is in a city-centre block. Can I short-let it?
Often, but many leases restrict short-lets. We'll read your lease and building rules with you before anything goes live.
Do I need to register my Newcastle property?
England is introducing a national short-let register. Once it's running, we'll handle the registration for you and add your number to every listing.
How is a short let different from a long let?
We don't use ASTs or tenancy agreements. Guests stay under a licence for up to 30 days at a time, with a set checkout date, and we keep access to clean and inspect your home. This is general information, not legal advice. For advice on your own home, speak to a solicitor.
Which parts of Newcastle do you cover?
The city centre, Quayside, Grainger Town, Ouseburn, Jesmond, Heaton and Gosforth. Send us your postcode and we'll confirm.
What brings guests to Newcastle
- Two universities. Newcastle University and Northumbria University bring open days, graduations and visiting academics.
- Newcastle Helix. The Newcastle Helix science and innovation quarter in the city centre brings researchers and business visitors, often midweek.
- The Tyne bridges. The Tyne Bridge, opened in 1928, and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge are icons of the city, and the Quayside around them is where many visitors want to stay.
- Hadrian's Wall. Hadrian's Wall begins at Wallsend, on the edge of the city, and walkers heading west often spend a night in Newcastle before they start.
Every one of these brings guests on specific dates. We add them to your calendar and price those nights to match.
