Scottish property portal ESPC has revealed the 10 properties which were most popular with house-hunters during November.
The top 10 homes were mainly located in Edinburgh, with some appearances from properties in Midlothian and East Lothian, gathering 69,000 views on espc.com between them. Prices hovered around the £300,000 - £400,000 mark, while the most expensive property was listed at £950,000, and the lowest priced was marketed at £235,000.
Paul Hilton, chief executive of ESPC, said: “Yet again it’s another fascinating insight into the minds of ESPC househunters this month, with November’s buyers clearly set on finding long-term homes in some of East Central Scotland’s most popular and family-friendly areas. As we saw from last month’s figures too, there are clearly many second steppers and experienced buyers in the market, looking to upgrade from starter flats and first houses to larger properties they can put down roots in.
"Edinburgh also offered the most appeal for buyers this month, with six of the homes located in some of the Capital’s most popular postcodes, including Morningside and Bruntsfield, Corstorphine and Colinton. It’s been another fast month on the market, with the vast majority of our most popular properties having already been snapped up by keen buyers, showing how quickly buyers are willing to act, even in a market with plenty of choice, when they find the right property for their needs.”
