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 contact us by email:
