Scottish property portal ESPC has revealed the 10 most-viewed properties in Edinburgh and the Lothians on its website during April this year.
The majority of the top 10 properties were located in Edinburgh, hinting that buyers continue to be drawn to city living. Other popular properties spanned East Lothian and Midlothian, with a variety of home styles attracting interest from ESPC house hunters, from large Victorian villas to quaint country bungalows.
Eight of the top 10 Edinburgh and Lothians homes are ‘under offer’, highlighting the strength of the market despite it continuing to calm following years of high demand and high price growth due to the pandemic.
