Protection & guarantees

Your property is in safe hands.

Every booking is screened, insured and compliant by default. Here's exactly what's covered — and what we'll never let through the door.

£3M damage cover

AirCover for Hosts on every short-let booking, plus our additional host-liability policy on top.

ID-verified guests

Government ID, age verification, fraud screening and stay-purpose checks before any booking is accepted.

Payment guarantee

Guests pay upfront via the platform. On Guaranteed Rent, AV Property pays your monthly rent regardless of occupancy.

Full compliance

Gas safety, EICR, EPC, fire risk assessments, HMO licensing and council short-let registrations — handled by us.

Property care

Routine inspections, professional cleans between every stay, and a 24/7 maintenance line for any issue.

Smart access & noise

Smart locks with single-use codes, plus noise sensors in apartments where neighbour relations matter most.

Guest vetting checklist

No party houses. No surprises.

Every booking we accept clears the same five checks. Anything that doesn't, we refuse — even at the cost of the night.

  • Government photo ID matched to the booking name
  • Minimum age 25 (unless the property explicitly opts in)
  • Stay purpose declared in writing
  • Local-postcode blocks active by default
  • Fraud & chargeback screening on the payment method

Protection & guarantees — FAQs

Every short-let stay is backed by Airbnb's AirCover (£3M host damage protection) plus our own host-liability policy. For Guaranteed Rent, damage beyond fair wear is repaired by us before the contract ends.

All guests are ID-checked, screened against fraud databases, age-restricted (25+ for most properties) and required to provide booking purpose for stays in residential blocks. Local-postcode bookings are blocked by default.

Guests pay before arrival via the platform or our card processor. You never carry payment risk. On Guaranteed Rent, your monthly rent is contractually owed by AV Property — paid regardless of occupancy.

We manage gas safety, EICR, EPC, smoke/CO alarms, fire risk assessments, PAT, HMO licensing and council short-let registrations. You see every certificate in your portal.
