What owners get from rent to rent with us in Edinburgh
Fixed monthly rent
Paid on the same day every month for the full 3–5 year term, in or out of season, regardless of occupancy or arrears. Standing order, straight to your account.
Zero voids, zero arrears
You're not letting to a tenant — you're leasing to AV Property. Our covenant, not a stranger's. No Section 21, no Section 8, no eviction risk.
Property professionally maintained
Cleaned 60–120 times a year, inspected weekly, minor maintenance under threshold handled at our cost. Property returned in better condition than a single-tenant AST.
All compliance and licensing handled
STL licence (Scotland), English register, London 90-day rule, HMO rules, Gas Safe, EICR, PAT, insurance — every line item is our responsibility for the term of the lease.
Why Edinburgh works for rent to rent
Typical nightly rates sit at £120–£220 with August/Hogmanay peaks of £400+. Every managed property carries a valid Short-Term Let Licence and, where required, planning consent under the city's Short-Term Let Control Area. We handle the whole compliance stack.
Edinburgh is unforgiving of amateur operators — the licensing regime, festival pricing and demanding guest base all reward professional management. Our licence-first setup means owners earn peak-season ADRs legally.

Short-term let compliance in Edinburgh

We prepare the licence application, floor plans, EICR, PAT, gas safety and legionella documentation and hold everything on file for the licensing authority. Compliance is included at no extra charge.

Frequently asked questions
Typically 105–125% of open-market AST rent for the same property, locked for 3–5 years. Exact figures depend on the city, size and condition of the property — we quote a firm number after a free 48-hour valuation.
Yes, when set up correctly. It's a commercial lease with explicit sublet permission, not an AST. You need mortgage consent-to-let, freeholder permission where a lease applies, and appropriate insurance — we walk landlords through all three.
You have the same remedies as any commercial landlord. In practice, our portfolio, filed accounts, professional indemnity cover and property redress registration make default extremely unlikely. Ask for references from live rent-to-rent landlords — we'll provide them.
3 to 5 years is standard. We invest £4,000–£10,000 per property in furniture and onboarding, so short contracts don't work commercially for us — you get the benefit of a long lock-in.
No. We furnish, style and photograph the property at our cost as part of onboarding. You get it back at the end of the term furnished to a higher standard than most landlords would provide themselves.
