How Fast Can You Get My Airbnb Listing Live?

Getting Your Airbnb Live – Start Earning Within Days

When you choose Ovitizia as your partner and Airbnb management company in London, you can expect the entire onboarding process to take 3-5 days, meaning you can begin earning by the end of the week.

For properties in the city that are already guest-ready, we can often go live within 72 hours.

As a London-based company, we work with trusted local photographers, cleaners, and tradesmen, enabling us to move quickly without cutting corners.

Our onboarding process balances speed with accuracy to ensure we launch the first time correctly. Many London listings receive their first booking within days of going live, especially in well-priced postcodes.

What might delay the process?

While most listings go live within a few days, timelines can extend slightly if:

  • Compliance issues need resolving
  • Photography access is delayed
  • Building or freeholder rules need clarification
  • Owners need more time to approve content

Getting a listing live quickly is essential, but getting it live correctly is what protects revenue, reviews, and compliance in the long term. Ovitzia’s process is built to avoid costly mistakes that lead to poor rankings or wasted demand.
