“The rental stock in central Scotland is improving through a combination of the impact of Brexit and the introduction, nearly 2-years ago now, of the Private Residential Tenancy with its 28-day notice period for tenants, which is resulting in stronger demand/longer rental periods for better quality properties and weaker demand/shorter rental periods for poorer quality ones. In addition, we are finding that rent levels are following this trend, so they are increasing for better stock and staying relatively static for less good stock. It would be worth landlords taking this into account next time there is consideration given to improving the condition of one of their properties.”
