Good for visitors.
Good for Scotland.

Millions of visitors discover Scotland every year, and many come back. A well-run short let gives families, groups and longer stays the space and comfort a hotel room rarely can, and what they spend reaches well beyond the front door.

Scotland introduced short-term let licensing in October 2022. We are all for it.1

We run short-term lets responsibly, end to end. Licensing and safety come first and every guest is vetted before they book. Then we take care of listings on every major platform, daily pricing, guest messaging around the clock, housekeeping, maintenance and a monthly statement with your payout.

One fee of 20% of net revenue, or 15% for owners with five or more properties with us. No setup fee, no monthly fee, no exit fee. Cleaning is paid by the guest on top of the nightly rate.

If your home is already licensed, it can usually go live soon after signing, once the photography and listings are ready. If it is not, we start straight away and prepare the home and its listings while the council considers it. Guests only arrive once everything is in place, and timings vary by council.

Yes. Just let us know the dates and we will block them for you, then plan pricing and bookings around them.

Yes. Edinburgh is our base, with local teams across Scotland and partners in the UK’s most visited places. Every home is licensed, run and reported on to the same standard, wherever it is.

Responsible letting starts with the right guests. We verify ID, look for a good review history, take security deposits and set clear house rules, quiet hours and age and event restrictions (no hen or stag parties). Noise monitors and smart doorbells tell us if a stay gets too loud, and we act on it. If a booking does not feel right, we use our judgement and turn it down.

There is no fixed term. The agreement rolls monthly and either side can end it with 30 days' notice, with no exit fee.

(06) How it worksThree phases, one team03 phases

From first call to first payout.

A home that is already licensed can be ready to let within a week or two of signing. For a new licence, the first guests arrive once it is granted, with the home ready and waiting. One team, and nothing left for you to chase.

Responsible short letting

It is about finding the balance.

Short letting should be a good experience for visitors, neighbours and owners alike. That is why every home we manage is licensed first, every guest is vetted and every stay is run with the street in mind.

  1. 01

    Fully licensed

    Licensed and safety checked before the first guest.

  2. 02

    Guests vetted

    ID checked, a good review history and deposits taken.

  3. 03

    Neighbour conscious

    Quiet hours kept and noise monitored, every stay.

  4. 04

    House rules agreed

    Set with you before the first booking, and every guest held to them.

  5. 05

    One local team

    Call-outs handled day and night, with every repair on your statement.

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.”

We run short-term lets responsibly, end to end. Licensing and safety come first and every guest is vetted before they book. Then we take care of listings on every major platform, daily pricing, guest messaging around the clock, housekeeping, maintenance and a monthly statement with your payout.

One fee of 20% of net revenue, or 15% for owners with five or more properties with us. No setup fee, no monthly fee, no exit fee. Cleaning is paid by the guest on top of the nightly rate.

If your home is already licensed, it can usually go live soon after signing, once the photography and listings are ready. If it is not, we start straight away and prepare the home and its listings while the council considers it. Guests only arrive once everything is in place, and timings vary by council.

Scotland introduced short-term let licensing in October 2022, and we are supportive of it. We handle everything your home needs, from the application to the renewals.

Yes. Just let us know the dates and we will block them for you, then plan pricing and bookings around them.

Yes. Edinburgh is our base, with local teams across Scotland and partners in the UK’s most visited places. Every home is licensed, run and reported on to the same standard, wherever it is.

Responsible letting starts with the right guests. We verify ID, look for a good review history, take security deposits and set clear house rules, quiet hours and age and event restrictions (no hen or stag parties). Noise monitors and smart doorbells tell us if a stay gets too loud, and we act on it. If a booking does not feel right, we use our judgement and turn it down.

There is no fixed term. The agreement rolls monthly and either side can end it with 30 days' notice, with no exit fee.
