However, a six-month delay has been announced for existing operators to apply for a short-term let licence in Scotland.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Existing owners have until 1 October 2023 to apply for a licence, while all new short-term let properties must now have a licence before booking<sup>1<\/sup>. The City of Edinburgh introduced its own scheme in 2022, which includes a \u2018control area\u2019<sup>2<\/sup>. This means that the use of an entire dwelling that is not a principal home as a short-term let requires planning permission. As with the rest of Scotland, new operators must have both a licence and planning permission, while existing operators have until October 2023.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are concerns that the new rules in Scotland are overly-complicated and expensive and, as in other cities, will act as a disincentive to non-professionals dealing in single-property vacation lets. Serviced apartments are excluded from the same rules that govern the short-term rental market, as are aparthotels. However, the effect on extended-stay accommodation is significant in terms of loss of diversity in operators\u2019 inventories and potentially higher prices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As one Edinburgh accommodation partner says, \u201cA considerable amount of our portfolio will be affected by the regulation changes and will therefore no longer be available for short-term rental. As such, we have had to diversify to allow for longer-term rentals as well as focusing more on onboarding multi-unit-\/ aparthotel-style properties which would allow for short-term licensing. In the process, travellers\u2019 choice for accommodation will be massively reduced, consequently forcing up rates.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many feel that the new rules are overly complicated and expensive; and are puzzled as to how concerns about health and safety, the impact of short-stay rentals on local communities, and housing have morphed into regulations that threaten the short-stay sector itself. Another Edinburgh accommodation partner states that their company, \u201cWill lose about 90%, at least, of our accommodation options for short lets.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, research shows that since the pandemic there has already been a reduction in the number of individuals renting out single vacation lets; and since aparthotels are exempt from the ruling, this business model may offer a tempting choice for international investors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Edinburgh, the regulations are likely to impact large events such as the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August, when the city\u2019s population doubles. Availability is already at a premium, and there are correspondingly high accommodation prices for both guests and performers. Considering the number of people who to Edinburgh for this event and during peak tourist season, this may discourage tourists from coming to the city \u2013 in turn having an impact on other businesses and the economy of Edinburgh as a whole. The new regulations will only add to the pressure on Edinburgh\u2019s already stretched short-stay inventory during peak season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As in other cities, strict rules around individual short-stay lets are likely to lead to a loss of product diversity overall \u2013 including the extended-stay sector \u2013 in an iconic location where many travellers value staying in a home in a local neighbourhood. Across Scotland as a whole, countryside and remote locations are likely to be particularly affected, resulting in a lack of available places to stay for travellers and impacting the local economy of these areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">[1] The Scottish Government. \u2018How to apply for a short-term let licence\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">[2] The City of Edinburgh Council. \u2018Edinburgh to become first short-term let control area in Scotland\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-a5f9aaeb\">\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-91cae7d7 gb-button-text\" href=\"https:\/\/situlivingltd.my.salesforce.com\/sfc\/p\/#4K0000018dYZ\/a\/8e000000ThCw\/9T6ll7_CSpPUBc8oPwZSnM3OGaCWYEZHkTUbKpTj2yY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Access White Paper<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Legal notice<\/strong>&nbsp;<br>The content of this white paper and subsequent blog posts is only accurate as of the date of the white paper\u2019s release and will constantly evolve due to the ever-changing nature of the local property market.
