“The lettings market continues to experience a severe shortage of stock with the inevitable consequence of strong demand for available properties and price increases. An urgent rethink is required by Scottish Government in connection with their proposed legislation as this will encourage landlords to sell, further restricting options for tenants and increasing rents even more. Landlords who do stay in the market will face higher costs in order to cope with ever more legislative requirements, not least ensuring all their properties achieve a C rating on their Energy Performance Certificates by 2025.”
