Rental Demand Hits High

Newly published research by ARLA reflects the experiences of most agents and prospective tenants by reporting that the number of tenants seeking rental properties has reached an 8 year high.

Berisfords have witnessed an unprecedented demand for city centre rental properties in Glasgow over the last 8 weeks. This appears to be partially caused by the usual seasonal influx of students and staff from Universities and City centre colleges but also due to the number of prospective first time buyers who cannot afford the deposit required to buy a property.

This is being exacerbated by the drop in the number of rental properties being advertised for sale and the lack of new build properties being built by developers.

S Berisford from Berisfords says, “The perceived drop in average house being reported in the press from both the Halifax and RICS may actually present a fantastic opportunity for Glasgow property investors. Whilst the sales market remains stagnant particularly in the outlying regions of Glasgow, city centre properties remain in demand from investors as they can now achieve a good yield of 6-7%. If the availability of new build housing stock continues to shrink and the number of prospective renters continues to grow then this can only drive rental prices upwards.”

Stuart Law of Assetz, a property investment company, is equally bullish on the future rental demand of city centre properties and is of the opinion that prices will continue to rise for the next 10 years. Law points out that as banks will not lend for either the construction or for the mortgage of new build properties in City Centre locations such as Glasgow, very few new build properties will come to the market.

To take advantage of this window of opportunity Berisfords are offering existing landlord clients a service of finding suitable rental properties within the Greater Glasgow area. S Berisford from Berisfords says “Whether you are looking for yield, long term capital appreciation, discount to RICS valuation or for any combination of the aforementioned, Glasgow has many opportunities at present to satisfy the property investor.”

Please contact Berisfords on 0141 582 1230 if you wish to discuss our property finders service in greater detail and take advantage of this great window of opportunity.

We are so confident that we will find you a tenant that we are willing to waive all fees on any properties offered to us in the Matrix building for the entire month of October.

Record Demand makes Headline News

Berisfords have received a record number of enquiries for one of the properties that they manage in the Headline Building which is located in Albion Street.

S Berisford said today “The combination of being in the heart of the Merchant City and close to the Universities made this one bed property with aspects towards the rear of the property irresistable to a large number of potential tenants. We received several calls a day for the property and after a day of viewings had several offers on the property. Many clients ended up being disappointed.”

Berisfords are keen to speak to any landlord that has similar property in either the Headline Building or in the Herald Building, particularly one bed properties in order to satisy the demand from potential tenants who have missed out. Berisfords are so confident that they will find a suitable tenant that we will waive all Sign up fees if we do not find you a tenant within the first 2 weeks of handing over your keys to us.

Alternatively if you simply wish a no obligation rental valuation or to discuss the likely price that you will achieve on the rental market please do not hesitate to contact us today on 0141 582 1230.

History of Property .Woodside Terrace was built in 1835 extending the Crescent built four years earlier from the edge of the Charing Cross area of Glasgow. Designed by George Smith, the renowned Edinburgh architect, it was the second residential development of the parkland feued from the wealthy country house estates of Wellfield, Clairmont and Woodlands which originally lay at the edge of the rapidly expanding town. Designed to accommodate the wealthy upper elite of Glasgow society who were aiming to escape west from the fumes of the rapidly industrialising city, the architecture combines the restrained use of Greek neo classic architecture with the sobre, imposing Doric honey ashlar porticoes standing majestically above the private residents gardens which are laid out to its immediate south.
