It's a good start, but the fact it seems to be up to 6% per term surely will mean estate agents going for 6 month agreements so they can get a 12% maximum in a year? Or am I missing something?

It's per year. And capped at 6, but inflation +1% is usually less

Or, and hear me out, increase the supply of housing to lower the cost.

Any idea where we should be building in Edinburgh then?

The land behind Edinburgh park + convert the empty office buildings in the Gyle.
