3. Do – Get a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate
Our next Airbnb hosting tip is to get a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate. It’s a legal requirement if you are renting out your home – even for 6 weeks during the summer holidays.
A Landlord Gas Safety Certificate costs approximately £70 and is easily arranged through your local gas plumber.
4. Do – Get a good housekeeper & set a budget
I can’t emphasis this enough! Getting a good housekeeper who you trust is a must.
The last thing you want when travelling the world with your family, is worrying about your property back home.
Interview candidates thoroughly!
Another of our top Airbnb hosting tips is not to penny pinch when choosing a housekeeper. Consider their flexibility, common sense and experience, as well as their fee. A good housekeeper is worth their weight in gold.
Supply them with a list of local tradesmen who know your property.

Very interesting to see things from the other side: I happily go self-catering but had no real idea of what’s involved for the person renting the property.
As a potential guest, I would agree about the photos – I make my mind up in seconds based on grotty snaps!
Thanks for your comments Trish. I’ve actually never been on the guest side of Airbnb either – so I guess I should give that a go!
