Working alone
It is legal to provide sexual services in a house or flat as long as there is only one person selling sex. If there are more than that, even at different times, the premises can be classified as a brothel and you may be at risk from SOA 1956 sections 33 and 33a.
It's worth being aware of the potential problems you may face even in working alone indoors.
Maids
Though it is legal to have a 'maid' or 'housekeeper' to assist you and to increase your safety the police may allege that the maid is selling sex and that therefore the premises count as a brothel, especially if he or she is young. They may claim that a maid has to be over a certain age. This is not true. The only relevant issue is whether or not the maid was having sex on
Disorderly Houses
It is an offence under the Disorderly Houses Act 1751, and under common law, to keep a 'disorderly house' used by members of the public.
A disorderly house is a house 'not regulated by the restraints of morality, and which is so conducted as to violate law and good order'.
It may be used where there are complaints from the public, live sex shows or premises specialising in SM services. It applies to both men and women, and may be used against individuals working alone as well as against groups. Whoever appears to be 'keeping' the house may be found guilty.
