The latest report from Citylets, an analysis of the Scottish Private Rental Sector’s performance in the third quarter of 2025, led with the passing of the Housing (Scotland) Bill, which finally ended a long period of uncertainty with regards to the future regulatory environment of the Scottish PRS.
It also shows that while the overall Scottish market is experiencing slow growth, individual cities such as Aberdeen are experiencing a more resilient rental market with stable rents for both one and two-bedroom flats.
Overall demand is strong, with tight supply contributing to pressure on the market as landlords continue to sell properties, resulting in reduced stock levels. However, rents are on the rise in three + bedroom properties and new builds due to their modern amenities and energy efficiency.
Northwood North East Branch Manager Juliet Livingstone, said: €œDemand is continuing to rise across Aberdeen, with well-presented properties seeing multiple applications.
€œTenants are focusing in on energy efficiency, and the rents are continuing to rise steadily which is a positive welcome for landlords. The demand is rising for two-bed properties, but we are seeing that one-bed properties are slightly more popular in terms of letting speed.€
