“Demand for rental properties at all levels and in all areas remains significantly higher than supply. It’s really tough for tenants, especially those looking for more affordable, long-term rental accommodation. Despite the relaxation of rent controls, the removal of the eviction ban and strong rent inflation, there are still almost no investor buyers entering the market. This is despite mortgage rates reducing from their peak last year. The 6% additional dwelling tax levied on any investor buyer in Scotland is only serving to punish the tenant population through a severe lack of new investment.”
