The supply of Scottish residential properties coming on to the market increased for the first time in three months during April, according to the latest RICS UK Residential Market Survey.
Despite a net balance of 8 per cent more respondents reporting an increase in new instructions, demand for residential property also grew, outpacing new supply and continuing to push price expectations higher.
A net balance of 26 per cent more chartered surveyors expect Scottish house prices to rise over the next three months.
