Yes, you can but trust me the competition is so fierce for these properties that there isn't much chance of you NOT getting a 2 yr lease signed if you are a landlord. You can afford to be choosy but tenants cant. You want a flat where I stay you need to get up pretty early in the morning.
True story. There was a sh!t little flat not far from where I live and it was a bit of a dump. But with a lick of paint and a trip to IKEA it would have been liveable. So I phoned and the open viewing was that day. I couldn't get away form work and they won't let you lease it without seeing it. So there was another open viewing a few days later and I put my name down. The same day I phoned the agent phoned me back to say the flat was gone.
In my job I have access to lots of data on property in Scotland and let me tell you it's a minefield.
