Frequently Asked Questions

Want to get started but still have questions? Here are our most asked questions, or you can contact us to ask about your situation.

Holiday letting provides owners with higher income potential while maintaining the flexibility to use the property themselves. With access to an international market of travellers, particularly in popular tourist destinations like Oban, holiday lets attract a diverse range of guests seeking unique stays. This combination of income and personal use makes short-term rentals an ideal option for property owners in sought-after areas.
From 1 October 2023, all short-term let accommodations in Scotland must have a valid licence from their local council to accept bookings or host guests. Operating without a licence is now a criminal offence, carrying penalties of up to £2,500 in fines and a one-year ban from applying for a licence. Stay compliant and ensure your holiday let or self-catering property meets the new legal requirements.
Comprehensive holiday let insurance is essential for protecting your property and providing peace of mind. This typically includes buildings and contents insurance to safeguard against damage, as well as public liability insurance to cover potential risks associated with hosting guests. Ensure your Oban property is fully protected with the right coverage.
Furnished Holiday Lets offer significant tax advantages, including capital allowances, business rate relief, and capital gains tax reliefs. These benefits make holiday letting a lucrative option for property owners.

To qualify as a Furnished Holiday Let, the property must be available for at least 210 days and let for at least 105 days per year. For business rates, the property needs to be available for a minimum of 140 days and let for at least 70 days annually. Ensuring compliance with these criteria allows owners to maximise the financial benefits of holiday letting.
Please see our blog post on the subject for more information.
Yes, you can use your holiday let for personal stays; however, these days will not count towards the required occupancy levels needed to qualify for valuable tax benefits. To maximise advantages like capital allowances and business rate relief, ensure your property meets the minimum letting thresholds for Furnished Holiday Lets.
Payments for your holiday let are typically processed on a weekly basis, providing a steady cash flow to support effective financial management. This regular schedule ensures you have consistent income to cover maintenance, expenses, and maximise your property’s profitability.
Platforms like Airbnb and others offer Host Guarantee programs to cover damages caused by guests. To ensure maximum protection, it's important to combine this with a security deposit and comprehensive holiday let insurance. This approach safeguards your Oban holiday accommodation y against potential damages, giving you peace of mind and protecting your investment.
The setup process for your holiday let can typically be completed within a few weeks. This timeline depends on securing the necessary short-term let licence, preparing the property to meet guest expectations, and listing it on platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO. With efficient planning, your property can be guest-ready and earning quickly.
