Properties in the top ten list were located in a range of areas from the highly sought-after regions of East and West Lothian, to the desirable suburbs of Edinburgh. Edinburgh’s popularity shows no signs of waning with ESPC’s active home buyers with five of the properties in the top 10 list located in the city centre and the surrounding suburbs.
Paul Hilton, CEO of ESPC, said: “This rundown of our most-popular homes on ESPC is a fascinating look at the requirements of homebuyers across East Central Scotland, and highlights what buyers are looking for in the current climate. This month, we’ve seen an increased level of demand for larger properties, with more than half of the homes on the list having four or five bedrooms as house hunters search for more flexible accommodation.
“While East Lothian – an area which has surged in popularity post-pandemic – remains popular, Edinburgh city centre and the surrounding suburbs are still desirable places to live with many ESPC users searching for their dream home here. The popularity of these properties is highlighted by the fact 50 per cent of the most viewed homes are now under offer or have had a closing date set. If you are thinking of buying or selling it is never too early to talk to your solicitor estate agent.”
