Good to know

In Edinburgh, very often. The whole city is a short-term let control area, so using a home that is not anyone's main home for short stays needs planning permission, unless it already has it or the use is already lawful. Flats on a shared stair are very unlikely to be approved. Some other councils have their own control areas, so we check the position for your home before anything else.

Yes. We check the licence, its conditions and its renewal date, then build the let around them. Nothing changes on your licence without you knowing.

With a look at the home and the area. We tell you plainly whether a route exists, what it involves and roughly how long it takes, before anything is submitted.

Applications are paid for when you apply. In Edinburgh, fees are non-refundable except in exceptional circumstances, so a refused or withdrawn application is money gone. We prepare every application to stand up first time.

That depends on how the home is run. We set out the options for your home, and nothing is submitted until you are happy with them.

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