I'm looking into airbnb arbitrage, London

I'm thinking of renting a seperate flat/ studio in London for the purpose of airbnbing (with the landlords permission)
Can someone with experience with this talk me through the process of setting this up/getting all the relevant checks and docs in order?

Your biggest problem will be finding a landlord willing to let you sublet for STRs @Ellenah0 

 

Of course there are many owners who do STRs within the 90 days and other types of lets outside of the 90 days.

 

What  checks and  documents are you referring to. You can do your market research by looking at The PInk Book produced by the English Tourist Board.

I had it in my mind I'm going to find an amazing landlord who would accept a 13th cheque and agree to let me Airbnb through my Ltd. but now I've just learned about this 90 day rule. What I've read is that you can get around the 90 day rule with permission or a licence from the council. Is this possible? Or 90 days means 90 days? I'm not prepared to risk it and break any laws. All above book. Worst case I have to switch my plan to HMO but Airbnb was my initial plan, before doing HMO of my own property
