Share your home,or let it while you are away.
Many Scottish homes are generous, with rooms that go unused. Share part of yours while you live there, with privacy designed in, or let the whole home while you are away. We can help arrange the space, and any alterations, to suit how you plan to use it.

Have guests while you are home, then let the whole home while you are away, often over the summer. We set it up so both are covered.
Your home, your rules.
It is still your home, so we start with how you live and work around it.
Look at how you live
Your space, your routine and how often you are away.
In, away or both
Everything is set up around how you plan to use your home.
Plan the space
Where guests sleep and wash, so your own space stays yours.
Apply
We prepare the application and the safety checks.
Ready the space
A guest room set up like a good hotel, with real care.
Guests, around your life
Bookings around your diary, and every guest looked after.
Right home, right owner.
- +A larger home with a spare room or more
- +You are away for long spells
- +You enjoy having guests
- +You want help with the busy parts
- −You would rather not share your home
- −The building's rules do not allow it
- −You need the home to yourself all year
- −You want the income of a home nobody lives in
Where it sits.
A strong return from space you already have, with very little asked of you. At most a key handover or a friendly hello, and only if you want to.
A recognised way to let, done properly.
Councils look closely at homes let by the people who live in them, and we keep track of every change.1
We take care of every part of it.
Licensing, start to finish
Set up for how you use your home, submitted properly.
We match the licence to how you live, whether you are in, away or both, and prepare the application and the safety checks it needs.
Space planning
How guests come and go, designed around your privacy.
Where guests sleep, wash and come and go, planned so your rooms stay private and the home still works for you.
Guest room set up
Bedding, storage and the small touches guests notice.
Good bedding, blackout, storage and the small details that earn great reviews, set up once and kept fresh.
Guest messages
Every question answered, so you are not on call.
Check-in times, Wi-Fi and directions answered day and night by our team, so your phone stays quiet.
Cleaning and linen
Around your routine, not over it.
Cleans and fresh linen timed around your routine, by a local team you get to know.
Owner reporting
A clear picture of every stay.
Every stay, payout and cost shown clearly each month, so you always know how the space is doing.
Not always. If the guest space has its own front door, its own kitchen and its own bathroom, the council may treat it as separate accommodation rather than part of your home. That can mean a different licence and, in Edinburgh, planning permission. A guest room or suite that shares your entrance or some of your facilities is usually treated as part of your home. We confirm the position with the council before anything is built or booked.
Yes. Some owners have guests while they are there, others let the whole home while they are away, and many do both. We set it up for how you live.
Usually not, as long as it stays your main home. In Edinburgh, letting rooms in your own home, or the whole home while you are away, does not normally need planning permission. If the home stops being your main home, or part of it becomes a separate unit, the rules change. We check what applies to yours before anything is submitted.
It can be. What applies depends on your council and how often you are away, and we check that before anything is booked.
Only the parts you choose. Private rooms stay private, and we set clear house rules for every stay.
Across Scotland, with Edinburgh as our home base. Tell us where the home is and we will tell you plainly what is possible there.

Owners, in their own words.
“A leak came through from the flat upstairs mid-stay. Hame sorted the neighbour and the repair, and the guests carried on as if nothing had happened. I only heard about it once it was fixed.”
“It feels personal. I know exactly who is looking after my flat, and the awkward guest requests never land on my phone. They are handled kindly and quickly, every time.”
“Students have the flat through the year, then Hame takes over for the summer. They marketed it to families, and the summer was busy from start to finish without me lifting a finger.”
“We only meant to let it for the summer. It ran so smoothly, and the communication was so good, that we kept it going well beyond.”
“The changeover between the students leaving and the first guests arriving used to be the part I dreaded. Now it just happens, and the flat is ready again for September.”
