The 10 properties on the latest monthly list of most viewed homes, which collectively amassed over 104,000 views in March, highlighted the strong market demand for houses over flats. Nine of the properties on the list were houses, with the tenth being a two-bedroom first floor flat.
The data also indicated a preference for homes with greater long-term potential rather than traditional first-time buyer options, with seven of the properties featuring three or more bedrooms.
Indicating a wide breadth of buyers’ budgets in the market, prices ranged from £230,000 to £875,000, with an overall average of £445,500. Only three properties were priced under £250,000, reflecting less of a demand for first-time buyers, and greater activity for house hunters seeking spacious family homes.
The capital was well represented in terms of location, with Edinburgh home to six of the top 10 most viewed homes. Two homes on the list are situated in East Lothian, both of which enjoy lovely settings in the coastal town of Dunbar. A single property each from West Fife and Kinross, and Midlothian make up the top 10.

Paul Hilton, CEO of ESPC, said: “The latest data from espc.com underscores the continued demand for houses over flats, with nine of the 10 most viewed properties being houses. It’s also clear that buyers are thinking long-term, with the majority of top-viewed homes offering three or more bedrooms - highlighting a shift toward family homes over traditional first-time buyer options.
“Edinburgh remains the focal point of market activity, accounting for six of the top 10 most viewed homes, while East Lothian’s coastal appeal is also drawing significant interest. The range of properties, from £230,000 to £875,000, suggests that buyers across different budget levels are actively engaging with the market.
“With six of these highly sought-after homes already under offer, it’s evident that buyer confidence remains strong. The fact that all 10 properties were marketed as ‘offers over’ further reinforces the strength of the local market as we head into the warmer months.”
