Festival & Events Letting

Capitalise on peak demand — legally

Edinburgh's population doubles in July and August. Average short-stay rates hit £281/night — the highest in the UK. A 6-week temporary licence could generate over £8,500 per property.

⚠️ You cannot let — even for one night — without a licence or exemption

Advertising without one is also a criminal offence. Edinburgh Council is actively investigating unlicensed listings.
