Fiona Hindshaw - Clyde Property

“Q1 of 2017 has seen Glasgow’s buoyant rental market off to a flying start. High demand for quality rental homes across the city has seen increased competition from tenant applicants and a number of rental ‘closing dates’ set within Clyde offices where tenant interest for some properties has reached new heights. Areas such as Glasgow’s vibrant West End are seeing record rental and sales values achieved so far in 2017 with Shawlands also riding the crest of this wave of strong market activity. More encouragingly, new landlords are still entering the market in strong numbers as property remains a sound investment, if made in the right location.”
