Edinburgh AirBnB Landlords - How to Switch to Long-Term Letting
As most Edinburgh AirBnB Landlords will be aware, Covid-19 (and more specifically social distancing) has had a profound impact on the hospitality and tourism sectors within our beautiful city. For the foreseeable future, the Government has strongly advised against unnecessary travel so it may be a good idea to consider the benefits of switching to a forward-thinking long-term letting agency that will help you navigate these uncertain times.
We are experiencing a surge of enquiries from worried Edinburgh AirBnB let landlords. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the main concern is that the effects of this virus and social distancing could just be the beginning of what’s to come and that letting platforms are offering no control over their bookings, with some refunding 100% of bookings revenue. After months of heightening regulations and uncertainty, the current crisis appears to be the straw that broke the camel’s back for these landlords.
We completely understand that this is a time of great uncertainty and stress, so let us provide one piece of certainty: People will always need homes.
Cullen Property operates on a ‘no let, no fee’ basis, whereby no management fee will be charged until receipt of rent from happy tenants. What does this mean? It means that it is mutually beneficial for us to let your flat.
