Airbnb / Holiday Rentals in Brighton 2024

Entering 2024, Brighton's rental market is thriving, offering landlords a unique opportunity to tap into a growing demand for long-term housing. As of early January, the city is experiencing a noticeable shift away from the saturated Airbnb market as investors are seeing a huge influx in competition to their holiday rental.
 

The Rise of Long-Term Rentals

Around the world, various countries have been cracking down on holiday rentals in major cities. Restrictions have been put in place to limit the number of days properties can be rented, allowing no new holiday rentals to come to market and even complete bans on holiday rentals. There are currently no restrictions like this in Brighton but discussions were being had to implement a 90 day limit for holiday rentals in the city within the leveling up and regeneration bill and landlords would need to apply for planning permission to go beyond this. 

With tenants seeking stability and security, the preference for traditional long-term rentals is on the rise. Landlords now have a chance to transition away from the oversaturated short-term rental model and cater to the increasing demand for stable housing options. There are plenty of benefits to longer term rentals including but not exclusive to; providing a home to long term renters to who will cover all their utility bills, little to no void periods compared to holiday rentals and lower wear and tear on the property internally.
