UK Housing Market: Surging Interest in Scottish Real Estate Despite Taxes



Despite the high tax burden, demand for Scottish property remains strong. Find out why investors are still flocking to the market.

Demand for property in Scotland has shown resilience in the face of high taxes, with the market remaining steady despite the financial implications for buyers. Analysis conducted by property firm DJ Alexander revealed that Scotland's property tax revenue has held steady over the past year, reaching a total of £623.1 million. A significant portion of this revenue, £194.5 million, was generated through the additional dwelling supplement (ADS) of 6%, which is levied on second homes and properties purchased by landlords and investors for rental purposes. Additionally, properties priced between £325,001 and £750,000 in Scotland are subject to a 10% Land and Buildings Transaction Tax rate.
