Edinburgh's New Town benefits from consistent short-let demand throughout the year. Georgian townhouses and first-floor flats attract higher-spending guests who value the architecture and proximity to Princes Street and the business district. During August, New Town properties benefit from festival overflow from the Old Town, with demand strong across both leisure and business categories.

A well-managed two-bedroom in the New Town averages £419 per night at 77% occupancy, generating around £117,622 in annual gross revenue.

Edinburgh's 5% Transient Visitor Levy, introduced in April 2026, applies to all bookings. Houst handles collection and remittance.
