Hackney is one of east London’s most popular places to live and stay. London Fields, Broadway Market, Victoria Park, Dalston and Hackney Wick give it a lively, local character, and the borough also includes Shoreditch and its offices. Ichiban Stays provides property management in Hackney for landlords who want their home run professionally as a short let, Airbnb or serviced apartment, without the day-to-day work.
Short-Let and Airbnb Management in Hackney
Hackney is served mainly by the London Overground, with stations including Hackney Central, Dalston Junction, Homerton and Hackney Wick, and quick connections to the City, Stratford and Highbury & Islington. Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is next door, so concerts and sporting events add extra demand on top of steady visits from young professionals and families.

Things to Check Before Letting in Hackney
Hackney is a London borough covering areas including Hackney Central, Dalston, Stoke Newington, Clapton, Hackney Wick and Shoreditch (E5, E8, E9, N16 and nearby postcodes). Before you let your property as a short let:
- Many flats are leasehold conversions or new-build blocks, and some leases and building rules restrict short lets. Check them before listing.
- Many homes share entrances with neighbours, so guest vetting and clear house rules matter.
- Plan around the 90-night rule from the start: longer stays for relocating professionals suit Hackney well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hackney a good area for short lets?
Yes, for well-presented properties. Its parks, markets, restaurants and nearby event venues attract guests all year. Your lease and the 90-night rule decide how you can let it.
Do you manage family homes in Hackney?
Yes. We manage flats and family houses across Hackney, Dalston, Stoke Newington and Hackney Wick, with listings set up for families and longer stays.
Can I let my Hackney flat for more than 90 nights a year?
Not as a whole-home short let without planning permission. Stays of 90 consecutive nights or more do not count towards the limit, so we plan around it, for example by combining short stays with longer corporate lets.
Do you offer lettings management in Hackney?
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.
