“At least one in six people on The Sunday Times Rich List owes their wealth to property or the world of home ownership in some way”. Those are the words of Robert Watts, the man who compiles The Sunday Times Rich List.

There is no getting away from the fact that the rise in the number of buy-to-let properties in Fife has been nothing short of astonishing over the last twenty years.
