Description

How has the pandemic treated the residential development sector in Scotland?  Is it retreating like it did, following the 2008 global market recession and subsequent property market crash, or is it enjoying the benefits of a buoyant residential sales market?  And how is Aberdeen coping following its more recent energy-led recession?

Homes for Scotland estimates that the sector was already struggling to build the 25,000 new units required annually to meet a growing housing need north of the border:  so how has the challenge been further impacted by Covid-19?  What is happening not only to completion rates but to land values and sales rates too, and what is sentiment like amongst Scottish housebuilders?

Join Guy Ruddle and guests: Ben Brough, Jamie Doran and Graham Reid, Development Heads in Scotland’s three largest cities,  as they discuss challenges, opportunities and how the sector is getting back on track to deliver the homes Scotland needs.
