What to Know about Short-Term Letting in Cumbria

Operating a holiday let in Cumbria now requires navigating a complex and evolving regulatory framework. A new mandatory national registration scheme is being introduced, requiring all owners to register and certify their property's safety compliance.

Locally, the financial stakes are high.. From April 2025, both Westmorland & Furness and Cumberland councils impose a 100% council tax premium on second homes. To avoid this 200% total charge and qualify for business rates, your property must be commercially let for a minimum of 70 days per year.

Furthermore, once classified as a business, you are legally required to arrange and pay for a commercial waste contract.

Partnering with expert management ensures your property remains compliant and profitable amidst these demanding rules.
