Renting on Airbnb? The Council Just BANNED It

Описание: Is your Airbnb business operating illegally? Local Councils are now using AI software and "Article 4" powers to issue £20,000 fines to hosts without Class C5 planning permission.

In this urgent investigation, I expose the "Holiday Let Crackdown". The government has effectively banned new short-term lets in tourist hotspots like London, Cornwall, and Edinburgh. I explain how the abolition of the Furnished Holiday Let (FHL) tax regime, new mortgage fraud checks, and the "Nuisance Reporting Tools" are bankrupting thousands of amateur hosts.

⚠️ IN THIS VIDEO YOU WILL LEARN:

The Ban: Why renting for less than 90 days is now a "Material Change of Use" (Class C5).

The Surveillance: How Councils use "Granicus" & "AirDNA" to find your listing (even if you hide the address).

The Tax Trap: How Section 24 and the end of FHL relief could mean you pay 100% tax on your profit.

The Mortgage Risk: Why banks are calling in loans within 30 days for "Breach of Contract".

The Loophole 1: How to pivot to "Mid-Term Lets" (Corporate Housing) to bypass the ban legally.

The Loophole 2: How to use the "Rent-a-Room Scheme" tax-free allowance if you live in the property.
