Titles outwith UK by local authority and interest

This section looks at titles outwith UK by local authority and interest.

The chart shows the number of titles with an owner address outwith the UK by local authority and interest.

Around one in three (31%) outwith UK titles were in the City of Edinburgh or Glasgow city, both with 99% ownership versus 1% tenancy.

Ownership is the majority interest across most of Scotland with the exception of Renfrewshire.

Renfrewshire accounts for around one in ten of the outwith UK titles (10.7% or 2,880 titles), of which 78% (or 2,256 titles) related to a tenancy interest. A contributory factor to this is the number of titles of parking spaces and storage facilities near to Glasgow Airport. This is an unusual form that doesn’t appear to be repeated in any other local authority.

If Renfrewshire was excluded, the average proportion of tenancy interest across the other 31 local authority areas was 1.4% compared with 9.6% across the whole of Scotland.
