A Short-Term Let Licence is required to host guests. The house has operated as a successful holiday letting business and the property presents an excellent opportunity for potential buyers looking to purchase as an investment. Any new purchaser wishing to continue the business will need to apply for the transfer of short-term letting licence, a process which we understand should be straightforward as there is a current licence in place (further information below). 'The 2024 Licensing Order introduced a facility to transfer an existing short-term let licence (STLL) via a “transfer application.” These applications are determined in broadly the same manner as licence applications. The Chief Constable and other statutory consultees are informed, and an opportunity is given for them to object to the transfer should concerns exist about the transferee.' reference 'The Association of Scotland's Self-Caterers' Short Term Let Licence No: HI-70511-F, Valid Until: 09th Dec 2027. Potential purchasers should satisfy themselves on all aspects in relation to the STLL process.
It is understood that there is mains water, drainage and electricity.
