Tens of thousands of staying visitors will be looking for Edinburgh accommodation as they attend the six (yes, six!) festivals held in the city during the summer. Here’s why you should take advantage of this and rent out your property this summer…
High demand for quality properties
Edinburgh’s Festivals are world-class, recognised cultural events – and the biggest, the Fringe, is the largest arts festival in the world. The audience is coming, the performers are coming, the stage crews are coming, the journalists are coming… and they all need somewhere to stay.
There is high demand for quality rental properties, particularly in the key festival locations asround Old Town, Newington, Marchmont and the New Town.
High demand means increased rents – and money in your pocket
Good properties demand high weekly (or monthly) rental prices, meaning a festival let is of real financial value.
While you take a well-earned break somewhere far from the hordes of non-stop festival goers, your property could be earning money for you. As a general rule, properties will achieve between two and three times the normal monthly rent.
