HMOs for sale in Edinburgh
Edinburgh HMO listings should be filtered by Scottish licensing for three or more unrelated people — not by English Article 4 maps.
How Edinburgh stock usually presents
Shared flats, houses, hostels and halls sit under the same Edinburgh HMO label with different certificate packs. Read every listing’s current licence term and floor-plan schedule as carefully as the rent roll. Mid-renewal stock trades as a different product from a clean one- or three-year grant.
Licensing filter (Scotland)
Edinburgh defines HMOs as residential accommodation that is the main home for three or more unrelated people. Application fees are banded and licences can run for one or three years. English Article 4 directions do not apply.

Certificates and amenity filter
Applicants must supply floor plans with room uses and dimensions, plus gas, electrical, emergency lighting, PAT, fire appliance, fire alarm, sprinkler and fire-risk documents as listed on the licence page. Gaps become works contingencies on sale.
Keep the full certificate set beside the brochure.
Underwriting a listing
Check achieved rents versus asking rents, licence grant versus advertised occupancy, amenity gaps, and the safety file. A short remaining licence term is an expiry event buyers will price. Then sense-check price: HMO valuation in Edinburgh.
