The Views and Experiences of Private Sector Landlords in Scotland

A team of researchers at University of Sheffield (Prof. Tony Crook and Dr. Ed Ferrari) and Oxford University (Prof. Peter Kemp) have recently been awarded a contract by the Scottish Government to undertake a large scale survey of private landlords. This will build on previous work on the private rented sector in Scotland and England by Crook and Kemp and will particularly explore views on the new regulatory regime in place in Scotland. The study will draw on data collected from a sample of landlords and their property holdings in half of Scotland's local authority areas.
