“The Edinburgh market continues to perform very strongly. Available properties across all tenures saw very high demand from prospective tenants in Q2 with 1 and 2 bedroom rent levels being higher than ever before, with demand still growing. The student market was also very intense through Q2 but with a huge increase in ‘change of tenancy’ demand (change of several tenants within existing group), with students being very reluctant to give up any property for fear of not securing another later. Absolutely no doubt that government’s PRS policies are damaging the market and mostly adversely affecting the ability for tenants to find and afford a home to live in. Urgent requirement for Scottish Government to promote and incentivise the building/supply of more homes.”
