Know exactly what your holiday let needs, and when
Tell HostSorted what your property has and it builds the right checklist: fire risk assessment, gas safety, electrics, alarms, hot tubs, insurance and more. Then it tells you what is due before it runs out.
Right for every UK nation
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each have their own rules. Choose the nation and HostSorted adds what applies there: the short-term let licence and its conditions in Scotland, Welsh Revenue Authority registration and the visitor levy in Wales, Tourism NI certification in Northern Ireland, and the right business rates test for each.
A checklist built for your property
Gas? Wood burner? Oil boiler? Hot tub? In London? Tick a few boxes and HostSorted adds every check that applies, including the ones hosts often miss, like legionella and fire-safe furniture. You can add your own items too.
A compliance score you can trust
Your score counts only the legal requirements, so you can see at a glance whether anything that matters by law has lapsed. Everything else is clearly labelled as expected by insurers or good practice.
Reminders before anything runs out
One tidy email when checks are coming up, with time to book an engineer between guests. Choose how far ahead you want reminding. If something slips, you get a weekly nudge until it is recorded.
- Reminders 90, 60, 30, 14 and 7 days ahead, or on the day
- Due dates in Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar
- The 2-month early gas check rule worked out for you
Plain-English guides for every rule
Every item links to a guide explaining what the law says, how often, who can do it, typical costs and where to check a professional is registered.
