The Census

We all have to fill in census forms this weekend for our own homes; and we need to conplete them for our Holiday let properties.

I struggled to understand what we had to do for our holiday lets, so called the help line.  It took a long time!! So to try and prevent you having to hang on to the phone for ages, here’s what I found out.

For the holiday let properties, we have to complete sections H4 to H12 and all the V questions which are on the back page of the form.  The H questions are about the property and the V questions about the temporary visitors.  My plan is to complete the forms online – unless I get stuck!  The web-site is http://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/en/.

Let us know how you get on.

All the best

About the Author

Lenore Kennedy and Janet Unsworth run Self-catering-online.com, an internet holiday letting site. Self-catering-online.com is an internet advertising service for self-catering properties/short term/holiday let properties. People interested in properties to let for anything from a few days up to a 5 months can search for properties that are available for the dates they want, see the prices, converse with owners and book on-line. The web-site first went live for properties in Edinburgh in December 2007. We added on-line booking in June 2008 and in 2010 launched our service for London properties.
