“High demand and low stock in West Lothian has been a common theme throughout the year and continued into the first half of Q4 before the typical, quieter festive period. Diminishing stock means rental values continue to rise throughout the county. Tenants choosing to stay put is also having an impact on available stock levels. Factors including rising interest rates, the cost of living crisis, as well as temporary legislation introduced by the government appear to have existing landlords considering their options whilst also deterring new landlords entering the market. New investment and support are needed more than ever to plug an ever-increasing gap within the rental market.”
