Some landlords claim they expect to let out as many as 44 per cent more properties by the end of 2005 due to the growing number of Antipodean and Eastern European professionals coming to live in Edinburgh. And they say that the Capital's attractions are leading many of the newcomers to readily accept longer leases than before as they choose to stay in the city for longer periods or even permanently. Property experts claim the unexpectedly high demand for rented housing this year is due to the rising international popularity of Edinburgh as a place to live and work. Steven Currie of property management company DJ Alexander, attributed the high demand for rental flats to Edinburgh's vibrant atmosphere. He said: "I've lost count of the number of clients who say this city offers an atmosphere like no other in Britain, or indeed in Europe, and is driving their desire to live here. "While demand for accommodation from overseas clients is nothing new, I have never known it to be on the scale that it is today." Mr Currie said the firm was on target to let at least 1300 housing units in 2005, whereas the average for recent years was closer to 900. He described the typical tenant as a young professional in their 20s or 30s, drawn here by Edinburgh's international reputation. "It is the city, first and foremost, that has drawn them here - they have come to Edinburgh to live and work rather than come here to work and live," he said. Mr Currie said that while a typical tenant initially planned to live in the Capital for six months to a year, many then decided to stay on for longer, with some settling for good. "I know that from the number of people I meet in the course of the job who, having initially rented from us, go on to buy a home in Edinburgh," he added. He said that average rent on a two-bed property in the Capital had risen about £50 from last year to around £600 to £800 a month. Neil Thompson, property manager at Edinburgh Property Management, agreed rental properties were shifting very quickly. He said: "Things are going very quickly, which is surprising as historically this is a poor time of year." Mr Thompson said the firm had taken on 80 or 90 new rentals this year, compared to 50 or 60 last year. "I've noticed an increase in Eastern Europeans and particularly Polish people. People are less likely to balk at a contract of at least six months, which shows they do intend to stick around." Simon Fairclough, property expert at Edinburgh Solicitors Property Centre, said rented accommodation was much sought after. "There's a healthy demand for rental properties," he said. The Scottish Executive said it had received 7240 enquiries about its Fresh Talent scheme, which aims to tackle declining population by attracting people to live and work in Scotland, since the scheme went live in October 2004. Ben Carter, VisitScotland's area director for Edinburgh, said: "Edinburgh is consistently voted one of the top European destinations. It has so many unique attractions for people visiting on a short holiday, as well as those who want to extend their stay. "Edinburgh is highlighted in many of VisitScotland's international marketing campaigns, including a new £1 million European city break campaign. We also work with the Scottish Executive on their Fresh Talent initiative through joint promotions, such as our presence at New York's Tartan Week last year." 1500 families in the Lothians are homeless NEARLY 1500 families with children in Edinburgh and the Lothians were assessed as homeless last year. New figures show that, in the Capital alone, 875 families - 1.89 per cent of all households with children in the city - were homeless, 26 more than the year before. Across Scotland, the number of homeless families rose to 9395, representing nearly 16,000 children. The figures were condemned by SNP deputy health spokesman Stewart Maxwell, who claimed the Scottish Executive was failing in its pledge to end homelessness. He said: "These figures confirm what many of us feared. Instead of seeing the decline and eradication of homelessness in Scotland, we are seeing a year-on-year rise. "The reality for many thousands of children across Scotland this year is that they will have a homeless Christmas, rather than a happy Christmas." The figures show a total of 1491 families with children assessed as homeless in Edinburgh and the Lothians, up from 1471 the previous year. In East Lothian, the number was up from 133 to 137; in Midlothian, the increase was from 137 to 173; while in West Lothian, there was a fall - from 352 to 306. The number of children affected fell slightly in Edinburgh, from 1460 to 1421. But it rose in East Lothian from 202 to 221; and in Midlothian from 223 to 283; while in West Lothian, it fell dramatically from 626 to 525.
