Buoyant Private Rented Sector across Scotland

Over recent years there has been a seismic shift in the Private Rented Sector. More people are renting and this is set to grow. Tenants are choosing to make rental properties their long term homes. Fewer people are considering buying their own home. There is a great deal of confidence that buy to let will remain strong for the foreseeable future.

Currently in Scotland there is a chronic housing shortage and as long as demand continues to outstrip supply things will remain profitable for those landlords who choose to stay in the game. With the impact of Brexit on the economy, buy to let may well be the best investment to make, as share prices have decreased dramatically.
