Your Move Scotland, lettings director, Brian Moran commented on the latest data, saying

“Scottish rents have retreated back from record levels, after an acceleration of rent rises in 2015.

“This should provide a welcome let-up for tenants, after only last month rents hit a new record level. This adjustment has also broken up the forward march of annual rent growth that’s been gathering speed recently."
