Enfield at a glance
Short lets in Enfield, in brief
In Enfield, the week belongs to builders and hospital staff: crews on Meridian Water and the new Edmonton EcoPark, and staff at North Middlesex and Chase Farm. Weekends bring match days and concerts at Tottenham, Forty Hall and family visits. London caps whole-home short lets at 90 nights a year, so longer stays fill the rest of the calendar.

Who books a short let in Enfield
Insurance stays
When a home in Enfield, Edmonton or Ponders End is damaged by a leak, fire or flood, the insurer pays for the family to stay nearby while it is repaired. Stays of 90 nights or more in a row sit outside the 90-night limit, and these stays peak in winter.
Meridian Water
Enfield Council’s regeneration in Edmonton is planned for 10,000 homes. The 301 homes at Meridian One A were finished in March 2026, 274 more are being built, and work on about 700 more is due to start later in 2026.
Edmonton EcoPark
The North London Waste Authority is replacing the EcoPark’s energy from waste plant, over 50 years old, with a new energy recovery facility and recycling centre. The new facility was 59% built in July 2026.
North Middlesex and Chase Farm hospitals
Royal Free London runs both, with more than 19,000 staff across its hospitals. North Middlesex in Edmonton has emergency departments among the busiest in London, and Chase Farm in Enfield reopened in 2018 after a £200 million rebuild.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
London’s largest club stadium, with 62,850 seats, a short trip south of Enfield. It hosts NFL, boxing, rugby and concerts as well as Spurs.

Short lets, explained
How a short let fills the week in Enfield
A long let pays one rent. A short let is booked by the night or the week, so it can take a work stay in the week and a leisure stay at the weekend, and price each night for the demand.
- Priced for every night, not once a year
- Longer stays fill the quieter months
- One payout and one statement each month
If your home would earn more as a long let, we will tell you.

Local rules
The rules in Enfield, handled
What applies to a home in Enfield, and what we do about each one. Last checked September 2026.
The 90-night rule
In Greater London, a whole home can be let for up to 90 nights a year without planning permission. Stays of 90 nights or more in a row do not count towards it. We plan the calendar around the limit and fill the rest of the year with longer stays.
Council tax in Enfield
Enfield Council has charged a 100% premium on second homes since 1 April 2025, including furnished homes empty between lets, so the bill is doubled. In London a short let stays on council tax, because the 90-night rule only applies while council tax is paid on the home.
Planning in Enfield
We found no Enfield planning policy or Article 4 direction aimed at short lets beyond the London-wide 90-night rule. A borough-wide Article 4 direction, approved in 2013, means turning a family home into a small HMO (a shared house) needs permission. Others protect conservation areas.
Rules across England
England's short-let register is due by March 2027 and the furnished holiday lettings tax regime ended in April 2025. Outside London, a home let for at least 70 nights a year (and available for 140) pays business rates instead of council tax. Read our guide to the rules
Not as whole-home short lets. In Greater London a whole home can be let for up to 90 nights a year without planning permission, as long as the person providing it pays council tax on it. Stays of 90 nights or more in a row do not count, so we fill the rest of the year with longer stays.
Yes. Since 1 April 2025, Enfield Council has charged a 100% premium on second homes, including furnished homes empty between lets, so the bill is doubled. In London a short let stays on council tax, because the 90-night rule only applies while council tax is paid on the home.
No. The borough-wide direction, approved in 2013, means turning a family home into a small HMO needs planning permission. It does not cover short lets, and we found no Enfield planning rule aimed at them beyond the London-wide 90-night rule.
Construction crews on Meridian Water and the Edmonton EcoPark, NHS staff and families linked to North Middlesex and Chase Farm hospitals, people coming for events at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and families visiting relatives.
Enfield Town suits commuters and stays linked to Chase Farm. Edmonton suits North Middlesex Hospital and Meridian Water, and family houses in Bush Hill Park and Southbury suit crews and longer stays.
Trains from Enfield Town reach Liverpool Street from about 32 minutes, with around 62 a day, which suits guests who split the week between Enfield and the City.
A percentage of what each booking pays out: 15% + VAT on bookings from the booking sites, and 5% + VAT more on bookings that come direct to us. There is a one-off setup fee, and photography is priced separately, both agreed with you before anything starts. Guests pay for cleaning.
Yes. Whether you call it Airbnb management, co-hosting, holiday-let or serviced accommodation management, we run the whole thing: listings on Airbnb, Booking.com and other sites, pricing, guests, cleaning and maintenance. We take work and contractor stays as well as holidays.
