Flat not sold – Airbnb?

Hello, My daughter’s flat sale in London has fallen through. She had quite a few viewings but only one offer which was considerably under the asking price.
The tenants have given notice. She’s reluctant to put it back on the market at the moment and is considering running it as an Airbnb for a few months.
Apart from the obvious of letting her lender and insurance company know, I wondered if anyone had any experience of doing this.
Grateful for any thoughts.
Thanks.
Adrian

Check the block’s building insurance policy as may not cover AirB&B. If it doesn’t then the freeholders will refuse permission.
Also check the Local Authority regulations. Can do 90 days pa in most London boroughs without needing planning permission.

Thanks Judith. Does that mean 90 days of occupancy or 90 days of being available?
