Short Let Management in Surrey, England
Short Let Management for Surrey Landlords
Surrey draws more business guests than many expect. Executives and contractors working along the M25 corridor, families relocating for schools and jobs, and visitors to the Surrey Hills and Thorpe Park all need somewhere comfortable for stays of a few days to several months. A well-managed short let can serve all of them from the same property.
We already operate in Oxted, Reigate, Caterham and Walton on Thames, as part of 50 properties under management across London, Surrey, Kent and Essex. Rich Property is founder-led, has run for three years and also manages contractor and relocation accommodation, so business guests are not new to us. Landlords who prefer a hands-off route can leave listing, guests, cleaning and repairs with us.

What is Short-Let Management?
How We Manage Your Surrey Short Let
Founder-led short let management for Surrey landlords, tuned to M25 business travel, relocating families and weekend visitors.
1. Free Property Analysis: You complete the form and we review your Surrey property, its council position and which guests it suits best.
2. Agreement and Setup: Terms are agreed, the home is prepared and photographed, and lease, mortgage and insurance checks are completed.
3. Listing and Pricing: Your property is marketed on major platforms and our direct channels, with pricing shaped by business, relocation and leisure demand.
4. Guest Support: Secure check-in, round-the-clock guest services, cleaning and maintenance are looked after together.
What Our Short Let Management Covers in Surrey
Between stays, cleaners reset the home and photograph it before and after, so you can see how every turnover went. Maintenance is organised through trusted local teams, with costs and work agreed with you in advance.
Guests are checked before arrival with verified ID, a refundable damage deposit and a signed rental agreement. Our 24/7 guest services team answers questions from contractors arriving late, families settling in and visitors planning a weekend, so every guest type gets a quick reply. Secure check-in keeps handovers simple. Ongoing support continues throughout each stay, from enquiry to check-out, so neither contractors nor families are left waiting for an answer. If something needs your attention, we tell you clearly and promptly, with the cost and the options laid out.
Why Surrey Landlords Choose Our Short Let Service
Surrey properties often suit more than one guest type, from a family home near good schools to a flat close to a station. We help you decide which guests to aim for, rather than forcing every property into the same mould.
Because we also run contractor and relocation stays, our approach is practical and well tested. Marketing reaches over 2,000 guests through social media and email as well as booking platforms. Our Fees page covers how we charge, and we promise no income or occupancy figures. It suits owners of family homes, flats near stations and larger properties who would like to host business and relocation guests without running the operation themselves. If a different approach would suit the property better, we will say so.
Short Let Demand and Rules in Surrey
Surrey demand comes from corporate travel around the M25, relocating professionals, contractors on nearby projects and leisure visitors. Councils set their own positions, and Tandridge, which includes Oxted, is one of the authorities reviewing short-term let licensing during 2026. The 90-night rule is a Greater London limit and does not apply across Surrey in the same way.
England's register of short-term lets is due to be fully operational by March 2027, with details still being settled. Landlords should check local planning with the council, confirm their lender and insurer allow short lets, and keep an eye on GOV.UK. Nothing here is legal advice, so take professional guidance for your own circumstances. Our team can walk through how this affects your Surrey property on a call.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 90-night rule apply in Surrey?
It is a Greater London rule, so it does not apply across Surrey in the same way. Local planning positions still matter, so we check each property with the relevant council. Where something is unclear, the council can confirm the position for your address.
Who stays in a Surrey short let?
Business travellers, contractors, relocating families and leisure visitors. Many longer stays suit the guests we already host through our Contractor Stay and Relocation Stay services. We help you decide which of these guests your property suits best.

How much does short let management cost in Surrey?
Please see our Fees page for how we charge. A free property analysis will show what suits your Surrey property. The analysis carries no obligation and is a practical way to compare options.
Do I need permission from my mortgage lender or insurer?
Very often, yes. Lenders and insurers increasingly require explicit consent for short lets, so get written confirmation before listing. We include this check in our property review.
