As we move into Spring 2020, analysis by Rettie's Research Team has highlighted the significant impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the rental market.
Key Findings:
- The number of Airbnb listings in Edinburgh dropped -26% compared to Q1 2019.
- Around 68% of Airbnb listings in Edinburgh are for entire properties, meaning that potentially over 2,000 entire properties may have exited the Short Term Letting Sector (STL) in Q1 2020.
- New listings for long term rentals on Citylets saw a significant spike in supply, with twice as many new listings in Mid March when compared to the same week a year earlier.
- Rettie is offering free consultations and advice to landlords who have short term rental properties affected by the Covid-19 outbreak. There is also a Tenant Introduction Only service available for Landlords who self manage their own properties.
