Karen and Gillian also discuss the property market including property sales and the reasons for it faring well during the pandemic, despite the initial fear, particularly the higher end and larger properties. They also chat about the rental market in relation to the findings from the Citylets Q2 2021 report including the significant difference in YOY rent rises between different property sizes. Karen also shares her thoughts on the average rent increase that Glasgow recorded and whether it will be a cause for concern to policy makers and the local authority.<\/p>\n
