Letting agents are seeing 'unprecedented' demand for properties in Glasgow as students and renters compete for a 'limited' number of properties.
A significant number of landlords leaving the market leading to a reduction in rental properties has created 'unprecedented' demand across the city. One letting agency said they received 947 enquiries for a one-bedroom flat in the city centre.
Students set to attend the University of Glasgow have been forced to join the scramble for private rentals after they were told that their University accommodation was no longer guaranteed. The university said increased demand and a significant contraction in Glasgow’s private rental market meant they were no longer able to provide guaranteed accommodation.
