Ever considered renting out your property at a higher monthly rental figure with no stress as someone else is taking care of all the set up for you– sound too good to be true?
With over 20 years of property management experience, particularly in the highly regulated HMO market, we are delighted to announce Cairn BNB which is a natural fit to our existing management services.
We offer a strictly ‘hands on’ BNB experience, tailor-made specifically for you, whilst maximising your overall monthly rental income.
We pay close attention to market trends and any upcoming local events to ensure all prices fall in line with accurate rental prices across the board.
Cairn BNB presents a fantastic opportunity to earn higher income where the fast-paced environment is both exciting and highly profitable, as opposed to the traditional professional letting route.

New hosts and operators ( Did you know ? )
If you were not using your premises to provide short term lets before 1 October 2022, you cannot take bookings or receive guests until you have a licence.
All hosts and operators need to have a licence by 1 July 2024.
There are four types of licence for short term let accommodation
- Secondary letting – the letting of property where you do not normally live, for example a second home that is let to guests
- Home letting – using all or part of your own home for short-term lets, whilst you are absent. An example of this could be whilst you are on holiday
- Home sharing – using all or part of your own home for short-term lets, whilst you are there
- Home letting and home sharing – operating short-term lets from your own home while you are living there and for periods when you are absent
