What type of property owner are you?🏠

👻 The Ghost Property
Your property is sitting empty and earning absolutely nothing.

🎃 The Seasonal Host
Summer was great… but now bookings have mysteriously disappeared.

💀 The Long-Term Landlord
Your property is occupied, but could it be earning more?

🕷️ The DIY Host
Bookings, guests, cleaners, maintenance… and it's becoming a nightmare.

Whichever one sounds familiar, your property has potential.

From your first call with Soltire Stays, we take the time to understand your property, its location and your goals. We will then visit the property in person to assess its potential and explain what may be required.

If the property is suitable and you are happy to proceed, we help with the next steps, including speaking to the council and arranging the necessary licences, certificates and assessments.

From your first enquiry to welcoming guests and managing the property day to day, you are supported throughout the whole process.

Scotland’s holiday let market is changing, but there is still plenty of opportunity for owners to understand their property and how to position it properly.

There are currently 32,317 short term let licences or exemptions in operation across Scotland, with 78% relating to secondary lets.

However, licensing requirements, new visitor levies and rising guest expectations mean successful holiday letting now requires more than simply listing a property online.

The right pricing, professional presentation and a smooth guest experience can make all the difference.

🍂 Would your property pass an autumn check?

Before the colder weather settles in, it is worth checking a few essentials around your holiday let.

✅ Test the heating and hot water before guests need them
✅ Check windows and doors for draughts or leaks
✅ Clear gutters and drains of fallen leaves
✅ Make sure outdoor lights are working
✅ Keep paths and steps clear and safe
✅ Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
✅ Look for signs of damp and check ventilation
✅ Keep spare duvets and blankets available for chilly nights
✅ Provide suitable, safety checked electric heaters as a backup, with clear instructions for use
✅ Leave simple heating instructions and an emergency contact number

A few small jobs now could prevent a much bigger headache later and help guests feel warm and comfortable from the moment they arrive.

Save this checklist for your next property visit 🏡
