Our services
We take care of every detail – from obtaining or renewing your licence to transfering the net income directly to your account.
Licencing and Planning
Need a short-let licence — or already have one? Either way, we’ve got you covered.
If you don’t have a licence yet, we’ll manage the full application process for you.
If you already have one, we’ll handle the entire renewal. Our licencing service is completely free for our customers.
Most renewals require a Certificate of Lawfulness or Planning Permission. That’s why we work with Contour Planning — quite possibly the best planning advisor in Edinburgh. They offer a personalised service — face to face, by email, or over the phone — at very competitive rates.
Thanks to their deep knowledge and to our collaboration, the process is faster, smoother, and more likely to succeed. And we don’t add a penny to their fees.
Marketing and management
We have years of experience in this field — and it shows.
We handle every aspect of marketing: from proven advice on decoration and furnishing, to professional-level photography of each room.
We also create and manage your listings across platforms like Booking.com and Airbnb, set seasonal pricing, handle guest communication, and respond to online feedback.
All of this, with zero hassle for you.
Check in & check out
We manage check-ins and check-outs for you.
If guests need anything during their stay, they can reach us 24/7—we make sure they always have our number.
We handle any issues quickly and professionally, keeping your reviews consistently excellent.
Cleaning service
Cleanliness is essential in this business.
That’s why we provide a dedicated cleaning team and a professional linen changeover system.
Our service is fast and efficient—so guests can check in on the same day others check out, maximizing your rental occupancy.
We ensure guests are always satisfied—and reviews consistently positive.
Linen
Our cleaning service price includes the rental of all the linen for your property: bedding, mattress protectors, pillows, duvets, bath towels, hand towels, bath matsand tea towels.
Of course, high quality, hotel grade. Because it does keep guests coming back.
Maintenance support
Your guests only want to relax. And so do you. That’s why Host-Ed coordinates all the maintenance and repairs of your property, so everything works perfectly all the time, every time.
Once again, our experience of Edinburgh means that we can deliver speedy responses while still focusing on great quality and good total costs.
Furnishing
If you have a property without any furniture, worry not. You can join the short-term rental market with host-ed furnishing service. We have years of experience and understand which styles work and which ones don’t!
Our in-house stylists constantly update our furniture packages. We’ll turn your property into a show home.
We can tailor-make a whole package for you. This means that you’ll have everything you need, at a price that is just right for you.
