Chelsea combines quiet residential streets with some of London’s best-known shopping and culture. It is a popular base for families, longer-stay guests and visitors who want a calmer stay close to central London. Ichiban Stays provides property management in Chelsea for landlords who want their home run professionally as a short let, Airbnb or serviced apartment, without the day-to-day work.

Things to Check Before Letting in Chelsea
Chelsea is in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (SW3 and SW10 postcodes). Before you let your property as a short let:
- Much of Chelsea is in conservation areas and many flats are leasehold. Check your lease allows short lets.
- Families and longer-stay guests value full kitchens, storage and good laundry facilities.
- Event weeks such as the Flower Show need pricing set early.

Guaranteed Rent or Fully Managed in Chelsea
We offer two ways to work with us in Chelsea. With guaranteed rent, we pay you an agreed rent every month, whether or not the property is booked. With full management, you keep the rental income and we run everything for a performance-based fee. There are no upfront fees with either, and your free income projection shows what your property could earn under each option. Read more about guaranteed rent and how we charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer property management in Chelsea?
Yes. We manage short lets, Airbnb and serviced accommodation in Chelsea for landlords who want a hands-off service.
When is demand highest in Chelsea?
Demand rises around major events such as the Chelsea Flower Show in May and through the summer, and longer corporate stays help fill quieter months.
Is Chelsea better for short lets or serviced accommodation?
Many Chelsea properties do well with a mix: short stays at peak times and longer serviced stays for the rest of the year, which also helps with the 90-night rule.
Do you offer lettings management in Chelsea?
Our focus is short lets, serviced accommodation and corporate lets rather than traditional long-term lettings. If you want a steady, predictable income instead, our guaranteed rent option pays you an agreed rent every month while we run the property.
