Sale market

Activity in the West End market is moving at an exceptional pace which is no surprise given its desirability combined with the easing of restrictions and confidence growing.

The area is seen as viewed as one of the top locations to live in the city, and with parks and nearby open space, increasingly high on the list of priorities for buyers, demand is simply growing.

Properties of all shapes and sizes are being snapped up almost as soon as they arrive on the market, with multiple offers a common occurrence.

Once your first property is under offer within the West End you see the transition from here to Jordanhill, Bearsden and Milngavie as families grow, and we can expect to see this speed up this year, though supply in the suburbs is similarly constrained.

In general, the market is very buoyant and is likely to remain so for some time to come. I think we can be confident that the West End will continue to be an attractive option for buyers with its charm, greenspaces and loveable character.

Lettings update

The rental market in the West End is continuing to prove to be extremely busy with demand still high in many areas during the second quarter.

There continued to be great interest in larger properties, possibly driven by tenants searching for more homeworking office space as well as gardens, and close proximity to other outdoor spaces such as parks.

As a university city, there also has been increased demand for one & two beds from students where previously they would have been expected to be in halls or sharing HMOs with other students.

The latest figures show rents in Glasgow rose 5.7% to stand at £848 on average with a TTL of just 20 days. 75% of properties to rent in Glasgow let within a month.

There remains a shortage of available stock so now would be good time to explore the market if you’re thinking about renting out a property.
