As Airbnb and other holiday let firms continue to rise in popularity, The Scottish Government has announced plans to limit the number of short-term lets in the capital.
Edinburgh will launch the first ever short-term property limits in Scotland, after too many homes were ‘lost to the holiday market’. The move hopes to preserve the character of neighbourhoods, and reduce the number of Airbnb-style accommodations.
The Scottish Government approved changes to planning laws today, which will cap the amount of short-term lets in the city - after it was revealed a third of all short-term lets in Scotland can be found in Edinburgh.
