Is there a 90-day short-let rule in Bath?

No. The 90-day short-let rule applies only to Greater London under the Deregulation Act 2015. Bath and other areas outside London have no equivalent annual night cap, meaning Bath properties can be let short-term year-round. Local planning rules may still apply to specific properties, and Curated Property checks this as part of onboarding.

How much can a Bath property earn on short let?

A well-managed Bath property can earn 40 to 60 percent more than the equivalent long-term tenancy in gross annual income. A two-bedroom apartment in the city centre might earn £42,000 to £65,000 gross annually on short let, against a long-term tenancy equivalent of around £24,000 to £30,000 per year.

Does the Renters' Rights Act affect Bath short lets?

No. The Renters' Rights Act 2025, in force from 1 May 2026, applies to assured and assured shorthold tenancies. It abolished Section 21 no-fault evictions and ended fixed-term tenancies, meaning landlords regaining possession now require four months' notice and cannot do so within the first 12 months of a tenancy. Short-let and mid-term corporate lets sit entirely outside the Act's scope, retaining full flexibility and control for the owner.

Does Curated Property manage properties in Bath?

Yes. Curated Property manages over 30 luxury short-let homes in Bath and the surrounding area, using the same management model as our London portfolio: multi-channel distribution, active revenue management, professional photography, guest vetting and full operational management.

What types of Bath property work best for short let?

Georgian terraces, apartments and townhouses in and around the city centre perform best, particularly those within walking distance of the Roman Baths, Pulteney Bridge and the main restaurant areas. Properties with original period features and well-presented interiors command the strongest nightly rates.
