Whether your home pays council tax or business rates decides the bill, and your free report tells you which. On council tax, 5 of the 10 councils we cover here add a 100% premium on furnished homes that are nobody’s main home. Broxbourne, East Hertfordshire, St Albans, Stevenage and Three Rivers had not announced one when we last checked.
- A national register on the wayEvery short let in England will need to register. We do it for you.
- Business rates at 140 and 70 nightsAvailable for 140 nights and let for 70 in a year, and a home pays business rates instead.
- Mortgage, lease and insuranceWe check all three with you on the first call.
