About Us
The UK's leading short-term let advisors
STL Solutions was founded to help property owners navigate the increasingly complex world of short-term let regulation. What started in Scotland has grown into a UK-wide consultancy trusted by hundreds of operators.
Our Story
Short-term letting is big business, contributing nearly £1 billion in Gross Value Add to the Scottish Economy, almost £30 billion across the UK and close to £150 billion in Europe alone.
Whilst the licensing and planning regimes continue to present challenges to existing and prospective STL operators, we believe that the case for short-term letting your property remains strong.
From one-off festival lets to full-time holiday accommodation and corporate letting, offering your property as short-stay accommodation gives you the chance to differentiate yourself in the market and generate higher returns, whilst retaining the greatest degree of flexibility in how your property is used.
We offer a comprehensive range of experience-led consultancy, legal and business strategy services to those already in, or planning to join, the short-term let community. Our advice is always independent and up-to-date, framed by experienced professionals and reflecting the most recent developments affecting the tourist, corporate letting and self-catering sectors.
