The trend
Are Glasgow rents still rising?
Not by much. Glasgow’s average rent rose through 2026, from £1,155 in Q1 to £1,211 in Q2 and £1,230 in Q3, but it was flat compared with a year earlier.
Across Scotland, the Scottish Government’s housing market review reports that annual growth in new-let rents has fallen from a peak of 13.7% in Q3 2023. For landlords, that makes realistic pricing and good presentation more important than ever.

What affects rent
How much rent can I get for my flat?
Two flats with the same number of bedrooms can let for very different rents. These are the things that make the biggest difference.
Location & street
Popular areas like Shawlands, Strathbungo and the West End, and streets near stations and parks, achieve more.
Size & layout
Bedroom sizes, a separate living room and a second bathroom all add value.
Condition
A modern kitchen and bathroom, fresh decoration and good windows make a real difference.
Furnished or not
Some tenants pay more for furnished flats, but most longer-term renters prefer unfurnished.
Energy efficiency
Warm flats with a better EPC rating are cheaper to run and easier to let.
Extras
Parking, outdoor space and storage all help a property stand out.
