List on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and more. Our short-term rental management in Leith reaches business and leisure guests across Edinburgh. We use day-of-week, event-aware, and seasonal pricing to keep occupancy steady year-round.
Leith has become one of Edinburgh's fastest-growing short-let markets. The combination of a strong independent hospitality scene, waterfront character and improving transport links to the city centre has driven sustained growth in guest demand. Waterfront and Shore-side properties achieve higher nightly rates and attract guests with longer booking windows. Outside the August peak, Leith holds occupancy more consistently than some city-centre areas because its appeal is less dependent on festival footfall.
A well-managed two-bedroom in Leith averages £255 per night at 70% occupancy, generating around £65,055 in annual gross revenue.
Edinburgh's 5% Transient Visitor Levy, introduced in April 2026, applies to all bookings. Houst handles collection and remittance.
The team is professional, responsive, and truly understands what it takes to manage short-term rentals effectively.
