List on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and more. Our short-term rental management in New Town reaches business and leisure guests across Edinburgh. We use day-of-week, event-aware, and seasonal pricing to keep occupancy steady year-round.
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.
The team is professional, responsive, and truly understands what it takes to manage short-term rentals effectively.
