Scottish Rents Fall Slightly as Rent Control Assessments Approach
Annual rents in Scotland fell by 0.2% in the second quarter of 2026, according to the latest figures from Citylets. The country’s three largest cities saw little movement in rent levels compared to a year earlier.
The report notes that rent levels in Scotland’s main markets have remained relatively stable, with supply and demand becoming more closely balanced. This comes as local authorities are due to carry out rent control assessments.
For letting agents and inventory clerks, the current market conditions suggest a period of stability in rental values across Scotland’s key urban areas. The upcoming rent control assessments by local authorities may be of particular interest to those managing rental properties, as they could influence future market trends.
