Open your doors to the Royal Wedding guests

Whether you’re sick to the teeth of hearing about the impending nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton or have already picked out your best hat and frock for the occasion, the fact remains the Royal Wedding could make you a rather regal pile of cash.

Here at FindaProperty we’ve recently done a bit of research and discovered London homeowners could earn £100 million by competing with the capital’s hotels during the weekend of the Royal Wedding – and that’s without stocking your home full of Kate and Wills themed mugs and tea towels.

Our survey found one in four London homeowners are considering renting out part or all of their homes for the weekend of the April 28 ceremony.

So what kind of windfall are we talking about here? We’ve found the average price people are willing to let out a spare room for is £38 per night. Three-quarters of these short term landlords are planning to charge less than £50 a night, though five per cent plan to charge £100 per room a night and one per cent are to take on London’s top hotels, charging over £300 a night.

The majority of people are looking to let out a single spare room, though more than a quarter are considering letting out their whole property for the weekend. A further four per cent are looking to create “pop up” hotels, letting out three or more of the rooms in their homes.
