The Perth sales market remained very active through the fourth quarter of 2021 with demand continuing to exceed supply and many active buyers awaiting the right property to hit the market.
This in turn has created some concern among buyers that they may not be able to secure a home after selling. The consequence of this is a situation where a small level of stock is possibly having some impact on buyers putting their own homes on the market.
There also remains a demand for new build developments as Bellway, Stephen Homes, Springfield Homes and Barratt Scotland amongst others, are actively developing sites in and around Perth.
Although demand is high for most property types, family homes, bungalows and the larger apartments priced between £150,000 - £350,000 are definitely seeing the strongest interest.
As we head into the New Year, the market is expected to continue to flourish. As more properties are listed, this should persuade those who have been reluctant to sell to put their own house to take the step to marketing and allow the market to remain active into the Spring.
The Perth rental market has remained very busy during the second quarter of 2021. There continues to be strong demand for all types of property as well as a shortage of stock, despite the recent lockdown.
One and two bedroom flats remain as popular as ever with a marked increase of interest in the city from young people, and healthy rents of between £400 and £700 are still being achieved without too much difficulty. There continues to be strong demand for larger family homes in and around Perth with significant appetite for homes with gardens and possible more space internally to allow working from home.
Demand continues to outstrip supply, particularly for two bedroom city centre flats, or modern flats with parking, again a key point for landlords. For those entering the market for the first time as well as existing landlords there is also the option to benefit from Aberdein Considine’s rent guarantee scheme.
Looking wider, the Perthshire rental market remains very active as the area remains popular with tenants based locally and further afield.
As we look towards the further easing of restrictions in the summer we could see a real shortage of rental properties without a much needed increase in stock.
The Fair City enjoys an enviable position on the banks of the River Tay, Scotland’s longest river. Due to its location, the city is often referred to as the ‘Gateway to the Highlands.’ Following the decline of the whisky industry locally, the city's economy has now diversified to include insurance and banking. Today, Perth serves as a retail centre for the surrounding area.
Perth offers something for everyone, and although it is a peaceful and quiet place to live the city is known for its lively nightlife, with dozens of bars and nightclubs. Perth has a rich historical tapestry, with museums and theatres providing excellent cultural opportunities.
The town has a strong economy with leading development in renewable energy, health and transport. Perth is a transport hub to the rest of Scotland, with good road and rail links north to Inverness and Aberdeen and south to Edinburgh and Glasgow. With a choice of schools and excellent shopping and leisure amenities, as well as a professional football team, Perth blends the convenience of big city living with the charm and outdoor opportunities of a smaller town.
Crieff is a bustling town nestled amid some of the most beautiful scenery in Perthshire. Just 18 miles from Perth, Crieff has long been a hub for tourism. Every year, the Crieff Highland Games unite the community as competitors from all over the world flock to take part in traditional events such as tossing the caber.
The town boasts a variety of impressive Edwardian and Victorian property and two primary schools, with secondary schools in Crieff and in Perth. With impressive leisure and retail amenities, the town is also conveniently located, with both Glasgow and Edinburgh airports just an hour’s drive away and Stirling within easy commuting distance.
The attractive market town of Kinross is located just a stone’s throw away from the beautiful Loch Leven, the largest loch of the Scottish lowlands. Kinross was declared a nature reserve in 1964 and the loch attracts around 20,000 pink-footed geese every autumn. The town has become known for these more unusual residents, with a sculpture of a goose in flight at the entrance to the town welcoming the thousands of geese who spend winter in the area.
The area is perfect for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, with miles of walking and cycling trails. If golfing or fishing is your thing, then Kinross is a fantastic place to live with several golf courses and lakes dotted around the land. History buffs also have plenty to enjoy here, as funding has been approved to restore the impressive Kinross Town Hall. Kinross offers an abundance of local shops and restaurants and good leisure amenities, with many lovely cafes where you can enjoy a bite to eat. The town is located just minutes away from the M90 and provides excellent transport links both north and south.
The pretty town of Pitlochry is near enough to Perth to be convenient but far enough to give a real feel of living in a small, country community. The town is within easy reach of both Glasgow and Edinburgh and has been a bustling mountain resort since the railways arrived in 1863. The cultural scene is strong here; perhaps the best known is the Pitlochry Festival Theatre, offering year-round entertainment for tourists and residents alike.
For such a small town, the range of restaurants, cafes and shops is truly remarkable and there is a diverse range of retail outlets ranging from small, individual stores to larger, national outlets. Surrounded by wonderful countryside, it is perfect for weekends walking, cycling, or just spotting wildlife; deer, red squirrels and even golden eagles can be found here.
