Rettie Property Research Services

This time last year, the housing market and wider economy had been thrown into turmoil by the UK Government’s Autumn Mini-Budget, with the mortgage payment on the average Scottish house purchase increasing by almost 60%.

We proactively continued our engagement with our client database during lockdown to keep them informed of opportunities that would be coming to the market once restrictions were lifted. We have also taken active steps to allow potential buyers to view new build properties in a safe and compliant way. These steps have resulted in a strong return in new build sales since the market reopened in July.

The Scottish New Build market is a crucial component of the wider housing market, contributing 10% to 13% of sales across Scotland and in excess of a third of sales in some council areas. Over the past few years, the New Build market has delivered increasing supply, with 2018 recording the highest level of new build sales in a decade.

2018 saw the highest number of new housing completions in Scotland post-recession, climbing to over 20,000 units. Delivery has been helped by programmes such as the Building Scotland Fund.
