Private Housing
Private, or privately owned housing, makes up the bulk of the total housing stock in Perth & Kinross. Owner-occupation is the most common tenure in the area although we also have a relatively large private-rented sector and, in a number of areas, second or holiday homes are abundant.
The Perth & Kinross area is a popular place to live for various reasons, not least its picturesque, rural setting and convenient, central location. The property market is currently vibrant with a good selection of properties for sale. If you are looking to buy a property or move to a different privately owned property, you may find this section of the website useful.
There is also a good selection of private-rented sector accommodation in Perth & Kinross with a variety of landlords operating in the area. If you are looking to find accommodation to rent privately or if you are already a private tenant, you may find this section of the website useful.
The private rented sector plays an increasingly important role in the local housing system and the last few years have seen an increasing level of regulation of the sector through central government policy and legislation. Perth & Kinross Council provides an information, advice and assistance service for private landlords and tenants. If you need advice on any aspect of private renting, please
