Guide to Mid-Market Rental Homes
Mid-Market Rent Homes Offer an Alternative to Renting Social Housing or Private Homes.
The rents that apply to Mid-Market are generally lower than private lets and higher than social housing. As such there can be specific criteria required when applying for these properties.
Residents normally get a Private Residential Tenancy, which is the same type of lease as most tenants get when they rent privately in Scotland but, as well as lower rents, some Mid-Market rental properties also allow the tenant the opportunity to purchase the property in year(s) 5 – 10. A deposit match savings scheme may also be available from the landlord to help tenants purchase the property.
Criteria for these properties is project dependant but is generally geared towards people who are economically active and looking for long term accommodation. Mid-Market rent is aimed at people who cannot afford home ownership but would not usually be eligible for social housing, there could be a minimum and maximum income criteria in place to reflect this aim.
Because of the wide range of people that Mid-Market rent is designed to cater for, there is a lot of variety in the developments that are available, with properties ranging from 1 bedroom to 4 bedroom properties.

Symonds Taylor Made Our Move with a New Baby Stress-Free
You’ve made a stressful period in our lives so much easier. Having a baby and moving at the same time would not have been possible for us without you both and would have likely ended up in murder or divorce!

Exceptional Service from Rob and Team Ensured Our Complex Move Succeeded
This is the second time we’ve sold with Rob and the team at Symonds Taylor (as formerly Rettie). We’ve always received a flawless service and felt at ease that we were in safe and experienced hands. Rob was quick at responding to all of our questions and was always available to reassure and guide us. Our recent move was unexpectedly complicated and without Robs proactive approach to keeping all parties up to date and moving things along I’m sure it would have fallen apart.
