“Q1 took off at pace, with lettings secured and tenants moving in the first week of January as the market opened; the usual January lag was not evident in 2026. With interest rates again rising, the PRS has been given a welcome reprieve with the delay to EPC reform, now pushed back to late 2027, bringing relief to many landlords facing increased overheads. As we enter the traditional student lettings period, it remains to be seen whether there will be a repeat of Q2 25, when traction was slow and many agents did not achieve full take-up of HMO properties until well into summer. We can only hope that Q2 26 sees improved buoyancy in Dundee’s student market.”
