Local SA Market

Short let unlikely to be allowed

The whole City of Edinburgh is a short-term let control area: letting a whole home that is not your main residence needs planning permission for change of use.
The council's policy presumes against short-let use of flats that share a common stair, so permission is unlikely unless the flat has its own main door.
A short-term let licence from the City of Edinburgh Council is also required.
Edinburgh visitor levy: 5% of the accommodation charge on stays from 24 July 2026.
