The Rettie Blog

The Fringe Festival returns to Edinburgh in 2025, running from 1st to 25th August. Already, we are experiencing strong demand from industry professionals and production companies for accommodation over the Festival period.

We were thrilled to see one of our featured properties star in 'Celebrity Escape to the Country' with Kaye Adams on BBC One.

As part of our 31 days of Rettie campaign, Dr John Boyle reflects on the previous year, and gives us his predictions for the market in 2025.

As we approach the end of 2024, it’s a great time to reflect on what's been a turbulent yet transformative year in the UK mortgage market. The past 12 months have been shaped by many of the same forces that have dominated recent years - economic uncertainty, fluctuating interest rates, inflationary pressures, and geopolitical tensions.

Better property management can prevent landlords exiting the rental sector.

December is almost here which means the festivities have begun and we will once again be running our 31 days of Rettie Campaign!

At Rettie we understand the need for a ‘joined-up thinking’ approach to property management, and we ensure the number of properties managed by each staff member enables them to deliver a responsive and personalised service to our landlords and tenants.

A higher standard of service comes as a standard at Rettie Lettings, and that starts with a named person who looks after everything from letting to maintaining your property. Whether you are a first time landlord, or have a portfolio of properties, allow us to take care of you. We have all the letting services you need, all in one place.

The "Living Local with Rettie" campaign highlights the expertise and community commitment of Rettie's team members across Scotland. Through videos featuring dedicated staff in various regions, the series showcases how Rettie's local knowledge, personal connections, and passion for service enhance the client experience and make them a trusted choice in property services.

Last week was a big week in politics north and south of the border. It is going to be a much bigger week this week, when the next US President is decided, but since the impact of that will not affect the Scottish housing market too much (at least in the short-term), we can dispense with it for the time being. The political events from last week that will significantly impact on the Scottish housing market are the UK Budget and the Scottish Government Housing Minister’s announcement on the future direction of the new Housing Bill. We look at both of these in turn briefly below and attempt to draw out likely impacts.

Strong demand – high rent inflation. When considering property as an investment class, the number one priority is ensuring there is demand for your property, and that you can command a strong rent. Never in a generation have we seen such high demand, low supply, and steep rent inflation in Edinburgh & Glasgow
