Compliance-First — Every Property, Every Time
Edinburgh's STL licensing regime is strict, and rising regulation is eliminating non-compliant operators. Being legal is your competitive advantage.
Edinburgh's STL Licensing Begins
Short-term let licensing became mandatory in Edinburgh. Properties must hold a valid licence or face penalties, enforcement action, and eviction orders.
Planning Refusal Rate (Tenements)
Edinburgh Council rejects 97.2% of STL planning applications for tenement flats (STL Solutions, 2025). PropertyFlow's compliance team provides ongoing compliance management through our proven strategy.
Our Licensing Strategy
Temporary licence + full licence + planning application running in parallel. Your property operates 24/7 without legal risk while we secure permanent licensing.

Landlord FAQs
How does PropertyFlow vet guests? ▼
All guests go through our multi-layer vetting process: identity verification (government ID), address confirmation, reference checks from previous hosts, payment method validation, and automated fraud screening. For corporate let bookings, PropertyFlow approves each guest directly. For managed service, you see full profiles before approval.
What happens if there's damage or a problem with a guest? ▼
We have 24/7 emergency response availability. For corporate let, PropertyFlow covers all damage under our operational insurance (Public Liability £10M, Professional Indemnity £100K per claim). For managed service, you approve claims over £250. We photograph all damage, document incidents, and handle deposit deductions or insurance claims. Note: PropertyFlow's insurance covers our operations — landlords should maintain their own building and contents insurance.
Do I need planning permission to do short-term lets? ▼
Yes, in most Edinburgh cases. Tenement flats face high refusal rates under standard planning. PropertyFlow has a proven compliance strategy that professionally manages the entire process — applications, appeals where grounds exist, and alternative routes such as Certificates of Lawful Use. We handle all regulatory matters so you always have a clear compliance pathway.
Can I switch between corporate let and managed service? ▼
Yes. Corporate let leases start from 1 year with terms open to discussion. Managed service is month-to-month with no lock-in. Many landlords start with corporate let for stability, then move to managed service once they've built confidence in the market. We can discuss what works best for your situation.
What about cleaning and maintenance? ▼
Included in both models. Professional cleaning between guests (checked by photography and rating system), 24/7 emergency maintenance, scheduled inspections, and preventative servicing. For managed service, you approve contractors. For corporate let, PropertyFlow manages all—you get monthly invoices.
