“After a challenging Q2, we have found the rental market has bounced back stronger than pre-lockdown levels and almost all our stock over lockdown had applications accepted within days of restrictions being eased. I believe this proves the strength and demand of the rental market in West Lothian as new tenants also consider this area as an affordable alternative to Edinburgh with easier access to outdoor space. Rental prices have held strong and even increased in certain areas. As little as 3% of our managed portfolio are currently experiencing rent arrears as a direct consequence of lockdown and support is being provided to tenants where necessary.”
