Known for both their Build to Rent (BTR) and Mid-Market Rent properties, Platform_ has developed a unique integrated model that combines asset management, property management, and landlord services, offering a streamlined experience for both tenants and investors.
In this episode, Gillian chats with Kevin Watson, Operations and Commercial Director at Platform_, to explore their approach to tackling the growing demand for Mid-Market Rent properties in Scotland.

Platform_’s Build to Rent developments offer high-spec design, exceptional amenities and sustainability. Kevin shares how they maintain balance across different price points, ensuring a harmonious living experience despite the variations in cost. He also discusses how the company chooses ideal locations for their developments in both Edinburgh and Glasgow.
As Scotland faces ongoing political changes and potential rent controls, Kevin offers valuable insight into how Platform_ is navigating these challenges and staying ahead of the curve, continuing to invest in the future of Scotland’s rental market.
