On the marketEarning while it sells or letsMonth by month

A home waiting to sell or let still costs money every month: the mortgage, the bills and the council tax. We let it to short-stay guests in the meantime, book viewings between stays once housekeeping has made it look its best, and hand it back the day the sale or the long let is ready. We work with owners and their agents alike.

(01) The pathFrom first look to first guest01 / 05

From listing to handover.

Your agent sells or lets the home. We keep it earning, and looking its best, until the day it is handed over.

01

Listed with your agent

The home goes on the market as normal, with a move-in or completion date set ahead.

02
Key step

Checked and licensed

Safety and licensing first, before any guest can book.

03

Ready for guests and buyers

Furnished, photographed and set up to show well to both.

04

Viewings between stays

Viewing slots go in the calendar first, and guests are booked around them.

05

Housekeeping before viewings

Fresh linen, tidy rooms and a home that feels cared for.

06

Handed back on time

When the sale completes or the tenant moves in, the home is cleaned and returned.

In short

A home that would otherwise sit empty, earning from short stays until the sale completes or the long let begins. Viewings always come first.

(04) The bigger pictureFigures from official sources04 / 05

Licensed first, even for a few months.

Worth knowing

Every short let in Scotland needs a licence before the first guest, including a home let for a short time while it is on the market. In Edinburgh, planning permission is needed as well. We check what yours needs before anything is booked.1

01

Working with your agent

Viewings, keys and dates agreed together.

We agree viewing slots, access and the handover date with your agent, so the sale or let always comes first.

02

Licensing and safety

Checked before the first guest arrives.

We check what the home needs and prepare everything, so nothing is left to chance while it is listed.

03

Housekeeping and presentation

A home that shows well every time.

Cleans and fresh linen timed around viewings, so buyers and tenants see the home at its best.

04

Guests, vetted and looked after

Short stays that suit a listed home.

Every guest vetted, with clear house rules and quiet hours, and stays planned around the viewing calendar.

05

Handover

Cleaned and returned on the agreed date.

When the sale or let is ready, we close the calendar, clean the home and hand it back.

06

Owner reporting

Every stay and payout, clearly shown.

A monthly statement shows every booking, cost and payment while the home is listed.

Good to know

Only where the home has, or gets, planning permission for short stays. The whole city is a short-term let control area, so an empty home that is nobody's main home needs planning permission as well as a licence before guests can stay. Flats on a shared stair are very unlikely to be approved. We check this before anything is offered.

No. Viewing slots go in the calendar first and guests are booked around them, with housekeeping before every viewing.

Bookings are taken with the end date in mind, and the calendar closes in good time for the handover.

Every short let in Scotland needs one before the first guest. We check what your home needs and handle it with you.

You keep the instruction and the client. We agree the terms in writing with each agency before the first property, so everyone knows how it works.

Homes in places guests want to stay suit it best. We will tell you honestly if yours is not a good fit.

Across Scotland, with Edinburgh as our home base. Tell us where the home is and we will tell you plainly what is possible there.
