If you are looking to move home, you may be struggling to find a place you can afford amid the worsening cost of living crisis.
For many households, owning property is out of the question, and so renting is the only option available.
While renting a flat in Glasgow is significantly less expensive than in Edinburgh, in general it still isn't cheap.
