We design functional spaces that make a home ready to share with guests, whether you are there or away. Underused rooms and buildings become bright, private spaces guests love. Licensing and planning shape every project from the first sketch, so the finished home meets the rules in full.
Two starting points, both drawn for guests.
Every project is different, but each one is drawn around guests, upkeep and licensing from the first sketch.
One home, with private rooms for guests.
Most family homes have space that rarely earns its keep, like a double garage full of boxes or a study nobody works in. Here it becomes a bright bedroom with its own shower room, a sitting room with a place to work and a utility room, all reached through the main front door. The old rear window becomes French doors onto the garden, so guests wake up to the patio, while the rest of the home carries on exactly as before.
Illustrative plans, not to scale. Every project depends on the approvals it needs, and nothing on this page is legal or planning advice.
In the right order.
The most expensive mistakes happen when work starts before the rules are checked. We start with the rules.
Survey the space
A measured survey of the space, its condition, heating, drainage and power, and what the building will allow.
Check the rules
Everything the space needs checked with the council before a single line is drawn.
Design for guests
Layout, privacy, sound, storage and finishes chosen for short stays and easy cleaning, then agreed with you.
Build and fit out
Trusted trades on one programme, with one point of contact and progress shared with you every week.
Make it safe
Alarms, fire doors, safety checks and certificates built in and recorded before guests arrive.
Style and launch
Furnished, photographed and listed, with everything in place before the first guest arrives.
Made for short stays.
Durable finishes
Surfaces chosen to look good after the hundredth stay.
Lockable owner storage
Your things kept private, without a spare room.
Quiet between rooms
Thought given to sound where people share.
A linen flow
Space to store, swap and launder without fuss.
Smart entry
Arrivals that do not depend on a handover.
Rest built in
Blackout blinds, good mattresses and calm, quiet bedrooms.
Space to unpack
Wardrobes, drawers and a place for every suitcase.
Somewhere to work
A proper desk, good light and fast, reliable wifi.
Fire safety built in
Alarms, fire doors and escape routes planned from the start.
Checked before the first wall moves.
If the building work you're doing needs a building warrant, you must get one before you start.mygov.scot, building warrants2
The whole of Edinburgh is a short-term let control area. Letting a home that is not your main home needs planning permission, and flats on a shared stair are very unlikely to be approved. Letting rooms in your own home, or the whole home while you are away, does not normally need it. We check what applies before any work starts.1
It is about finding the balance.
Short letting should be a good experience for visitors, neighbours and owners alike. Every space we prepare is designed to be licensed first, comfortable for guests and considerate of the building and the street.

Rules first
Everything the building needs checked before any design work.
- 02
Safety built in
Alarms, fire safety and certificates designed in, not added at the end.
- 03
Neighbour conscious
Sound, entrances and bins planned with the building and the street in mind.
- 04
Made to last
Durable finishes that still look good after the hundredth stay.
- 05
Space back in use
Underused spaces made into homes where the building allows.
Built for guests. Run by us.
Your time is better spent elsewhere.
A finished home is only the start. Running a short-term let properly, and getting the most from it, still takes time and attention every single week, even when you live in it or right next door. Go hands free: we run the whole thing, end to end, and you simply collect the monthly payments.

Pricing and bookings
Rates set and adjusted through the year, and every enquiry answered.
- 02
Guests looked after
Check-ins, questions and reviews, handled day and night.
- 03
Cleaning and upkeep
The home turned around and kept ready between every stay.
- 04
Licence and compliance
Every condition and certificate tracked and renewed on time.

One monthly payment
A clear statement, and your income paid to you each month.
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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
