Holiday Let Management in West Sussex
Holiday Let Management for West Sussex Owners
West Sussex offers coast, countryside and heritage in one county. Chichester and its harbour, Arundel Castle, the South Downs and the beaches around Bognor Regis and Worthing bring leisure visitors, while Goodwood's events create busy weekends through the summer. Gatwick Airport, near Crawley, adds short-break and pre-flight stays. Visitors range from racing fans and garden lovers to families heading for the beach, so a well-presented listing helps in every season.
Our current portfolio of 50 properties sits across London, Surrey, Kent and Essex, and we are extending our reach into West Sussex. Rich Property is founder-led and has operated for three years, so owners deal directly with the people running their property.

What Our Holiday Let Management Covers in West Sussex
Cleaners reset the property to a consistent standard and photograph it before and after each clean, which helps when event weekends bring quick changeovers. Maintenance goes through trusted local teams and is agreed with you before work is booked.
Verified ID, a refundable damage deposit and a signed rental agreement apply to every booking. Our 24/7 guest services team handles messages, late arrivals and anything unexpected, including guests flying in or out of Gatwick. Secure check-in systems let guests arrive without a key handover, whether they come off a train at Chichester or a late flight at Gatwick, and ongoing guest support continues through every stay.
A Hands-On Holiday Let Partner for West Sussex
West Sussex owners often have homes in lovely places that are tiring to manage from afar. We handle the guests, the cleaning and the repairs, and explain what is happening without jargon.
West Sussex is newer ground for us, and we say so openly. Our Fees page explains how we charge, and we do not promise income or occupancy, because event calendars and seasons shape demand. Our service suits owners of second homes and coastal properties, accidental landlords and owners ready to leave an agency or stop self-managing, provided the property can legally operate as a holiday let.
Holiday Let Demand and Rules in West Sussex
West Sussex spans authorities including Crawley, Horsham, Chichester, Adur and Worthing, and each sets its own planning and licensing view. We do not hold confirmed details of any specific West Sussex review, so we check property by property. Demand mixes coastal breaks, event weekends and Gatwick-linked short stays.
Nationally, a short-term lets register for England is on its way, with full operation expected by March 2027 and the detail still to be finalised. Since 6 April 2025 the furnished holiday lettings tax regime has no longer been available, so owners should ask a tax professional about their position. Lenders and insurers should also be consulted, and GOV.UK is the reliable reference.
