Can't you do 6 months without needing a BTL mortgage? Or is that anecdotal?
Also, how would they find out?

Brave! Do you really need the money? I wouldn't!

Dunno about Scotland but in England isn't there a bunch of stuff you have to do to make a place legally rent-able? Electrical certs and buying some kind of license from the local council spring to mind.

Do you need special permission from the bank or a particular type of mortgage for a one off sort of arrangement like this?
You need to read the small print of your mortgage.
Apparently in Glasgow you also need a licence from the council: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/help/article/1379#:~:text=have%20any%20questions.-,Scotland,-Hosts%20with%20new

You could risk it, but if something did go wrong your insurance probs won't cover you.
Im not super clued up on airbnb renting but i know its harder in glasgow now and if its anything like renting which i do know you need a bunch of stuff to make it ok. (Gas safety cert, electrical and a bunch of other stuff)

Thinking about putting our place on Airbnb for 2 weeks - the worlds are on in Glasgow at the start of august and we're away for ten days anyway.
Do you need special permission from the bank or a particular type of mortgage for a one off sort of arrangement like this? Or can we just go ahead and do it.
