EXPERTS have said that the Edinburgh housing market has “not changed much over the decades” after a student rediscovered an Edinburgh University acceptance letter from 1982 that described the rental market as “difficult”.
Recounting her thoughts on that first visit, Abissi said: “I was like every other visitor. I felt like it was magical, it was beautiful.” Experts in Edinburgh’s housing market say that the struggles students face today are similar to those described by the university in the letter .Nicky Lloyd, head of lettings at ESPC Lettings, said: “In many ways, Edinburgh’s rental market hasn’t changed much over the decades, especially with the student market, as it’s long been incredibly popular, with limited stock available.
She said: “I liked London because of all the things that London offers I really loved Edinburgh because it was easy to get around and I was able to go every place I had to go on foot, which was great as a student.Edinburgh – there was the Fringe and the International Festival in the summer. I liked the idea of a place that was smaller and more manageable and yet it still had a lot to offer.”
And with Edinburgh’s popularity coming from its many world heritage sites, this also presents one of the “biggest problems”, Hilton says, as they make it challenging to build new homes in central locations. Edinburgh City Council declared a housing emergency in November 2023 amid record highs in the number of homeless households.
