Consider a long-term tenancy if your short-term or holiday let license is refused

 
New legislation from 1st October 2022 requires all holiday and short-term lets to gain planning permission and a licence. If you’re unable to continue offering short-term accommodation, we can help you find a great long-term tenant. We offer free advice to all landlords.

We have published a helpful leaflet that highlights the recent issues in the Private Rental Sector (PRS) in Edinburgh, and explains why switching to a long-term tenancy could be a great option for you, and beneficial for the city and communities within. Click below:

Are you finding it difficult to sell your Edinburgh property? Why not let it out?

 
The UK housing market has seen some unexpected and significant shocks recently which has resulted in many mortgage offers being removed from the market, and buyers facing higher increases to repayments than expected.

If you’ve not found a buyer for your property, have you considered letting your property to a long-term tenant? Having a long-term tenant in your property will give you a steady income.
