We find and place tenants, often students, with new tenancies starting in September. Many choose to move out over the summer, and when they do, we run the home as a licensed short let for visitors, then have it ready again for September.

(01) The pathFrom first look to first guest01 / 06

Two lets, one plan.

Two kinds of let in one year, each with its own rules. We plan both before anything is agreed.

01

Look at the home

Close to campus or the centre? Most good homes suit both lets.

02

Plan the year

Tenancy dates, licensing and changeovers, planned.

03

Find the tenants

We find, reference and place tenants, with tenancies starting in September.

04
Key step

Licence the summer

Short stays need a licence like any other. We prepare it early.

05

Turn the home round

A deep clean, repairs, and the home styled for guests.

06

Ready for September

Guests out, and the home set up for tenants moving in.

(02) In practiceHow the year usually runs02 / 06

Term time for tenants, summer for guests.

The rhythm students already live by, turned into a plan for your home.

01 / September to May

Tenants from September

We find and place tenants, often students, on a standard tenancy with all the protections that come with it.

02 / June to August

Students home, guests in

Many students choose to move out when term ends. When they do, the home becomes a licensed short let for visitors. If they stay, it stays a long let that year.

03 / Late August

Ready for September

A deep clean, checks and any repairs, so the home is ready for new tenancies starting in September.

01

Finding the tenants

Advertised, viewed, referenced and placed for the year.

We find the right tenants, check references and guarantors, and start tenancies in September, in step with the student year.

02

Licensed for summer

Prepared, submitted and tracked in good time.

Short stays over the summer need a licence like any other let. We prepare the application early, so it is in place before the first guest.

03

Changeovers both ways

Deep cleans, repairs and styling between lets.

When tenants choose to move out, the home is cleaned, checked and styled for guests. Before September, it is set up again for new tenants.

04

Summer listing and pricing

Priced for the busiest weeks of the year.

Listed on the right platforms and priced day by day, so the summer earns what it should, with guests the street will welcome.

05

Guest care

Guests vetted, and every message answered all summer.

ID checks, deposits and quiet hours for every stay, and one local team on call, so guests and neighbours are both looked after.

06

Owner reporting

One clear picture across both lets.

Rent and summer bookings in one monthly statement, with every repair and changeover shown clearly.

Good to know

In Edinburgh it usually does. Over the summer the home is not anyone's main home, so letting it for short stays counts as a change of use in the city's short-term let control area. We check whether your home has, or can get, planning permission before any summer bookings are planned. Elsewhere, it depends on the council.

Yes. Short stays over the summer are short-term lets, and a licence has to be in place before guests arrive. We plan it in from the start.

Yes. We find, reference and place tenants, then run the summer as short stays whenever the home is free. One plan, one team and one statement.

A standard tenancy, with the same protections as any other tenant. Tenants can choose to give notice and move out, and many students do over the summer. If they stay, the home stays a long let that year.

A full turnaround: cleaning, checks, repairs and styling, timed so the home loses as few days as possible.

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