43. Rural Housing and the Importance of Certainty with Anna Gardiner

Welcome back to another episode of the Scottish Land & Estates Podcast, ScotLand Matters! In this episode, Cameron is back and joined by Anna Gardiner, our Rural Property Policy Adviser, to discuss Scotland's housing crisis. The Scottish government has declared a housing emergency, raising urgent questions about the factors driving this crisis. In this episode, Anna and Cameron analyse the shortage of affordable rental homes, particularly in rural areas where depopulation is an escalating concern, exploring whether recent rent control measures may be exacerbating the issue. Join us for an insightful discussion on Scotland's housing challenges, followed by an audience Q&A segment. Plus, stay tuned for our next episode, where we’ll dive into the new Programme for Government and its implications for the nation’s future.
