Airbnb Management in Edinburgh that rents your property directly

EdinBnB focuses exclusively on central Edinburgh, managing short-term rentals with a hands-on approach. We handle every step of hosting — from guest communication and cleaning to pricing and maintenance — allowing landlords to earn income without daily involvement.

Our management fee is 20%, covering everything from listing setup and photography to guest support, maintenance, and full compliance with Edinburgh’s short-let rules. There are no hidden costs.

Yes. All Airbnb and short-let hosts in Edinburgh must hold a valid Short-Term Let (STL) licence issued by the City of Edinburgh Council. It ensures your property meets the legal standards for safety, insurance, and occupancy.

Yes, usually. Since the entire city is a short-term let control area, secondary homes used as Airbnbs need planning permission before being rented out. Home letting (renting your main residence occasionally) may not require it.

Our team ensures your property meets all licensing, fire safety, and insurance requirements. We also guide you through the application process to keep your listing fully compliant with Edinburgh’s regulations.

We take care of all aspects of Airbnb hosting, including:

• Guest communication and vetting

• Cleaning and maintenance

• Listing creation and optimisation

• Dynamic pricing

• 24/7 guest support

• Check-in/check-out coordination

• Full legal and safety compliance

EdinBnB manages high-quality flats and apartments located in central Edinburgh, including areas like the Old Town, New Town, Leith, Grassmarket, and Stockbridge.

We use dynamic pricing technology and real-time market data to adjust rates and increase visibility. Combined with professional photography and multi-platform listings, this helps landlords achieve higher occupancy and consistent revenue.

If your Airbnb is your main home and you rent it out only when you’re away, you typically don’t need planning permission. However, you must still apply for a short-term let licence before hosting.

With over 15 years of experience, EdinBnB combines professional property care, transparent management, and in-depth knowledge of local regulations to help landlords earn more while staying 100% compliant.
