Property prices have continued to grow in the Capital throughout lockdown, so we thought we’d look at how the property markets in other countries compare.

The average house price in Edinburgh, following a pandemic surge, now stands at £277,496 and shows no sign of falling any time soon.

A two bedroom flat in the Marchmont area now sells for an average of £400,000 – so what could you expect to get for the same amount around the world?

Here are 10 for them, from Florida to Fiji. Fancy a move?
