A great day at the ASSC Scotland regional gathering in Stirling.

An excellent opportunity to meet owners face to face and network with other businesses within the short term let sector.

Thank you for your hospitality and well done to all the excellent speakers.

🎭 We get it — the new STL licensing rules in Edinburgh are confusing, frustrating, and frankly unfair.

Many hosts feel caught out by shifting rules, unclear guidance, and last-minute deadlines — especially around the Festival and Hogmanay.

But if you’re planning to let your property during these events, the reality is:

➡️ You still need a Temporary Exemption licence to let legally.

That’s where STL Solutions comes in. We’re not here to defend the system — we’re here to help you navigate it.
✅ Our Festival & Events Exemption Package is built for confused, frustrated, and time-poor hosts:

🔹 £299 fixed fee
🔹 Clear advice on eligibility
🔹 Full preparation and submission of your exemption application
🔹 Priority support if planning advice is needed

We’ve already helped over 600 operators get legal without the hassle — even when the rules don’t make much sense.

👉 If you’re unsure what to do next, don’t guess.

🚨 DPEA Fee Changes – What You Need to Know 🚨

At STL Solutions, we do more than just handle licences and planning – we actively advocate for our clients too.

Last week, we contacted the DPEA to raise concerns about the proposed introduction of appeal fees for those challenging local authority decisions. 💬

We’ve asked for:
🔹 Clarity on how the fees will be structured
🔹 Clearer wording in the legislation
🔹 Confirmation on whether fees will be refunded if an appeal is successful

We're on it – and we’ll keep you updated as this develops. ✅

🚨Reminder🚨

Make sure to check the expiry date of your licences and certificates! 📅

Over the past few weeks, we’ve had several clients provide incorrect renewal dates—if we hadn’t checked, they would have missed their deadline and been operating illegally, which could cause their renewal licence to be refused.

Stay stress-free and be sure you’re fully compliant by coming to STL Solutions! We can handle this process for you, so you can have peace of mind knowing everything is in order.

You can find the expiry date on your official licence document, and it can also be cross-checked on CEC’s public register of applications.
