The top 10 most viewed homes for sale on ESPC website during January
Spanning everything from family-friendly three-beds and seaside villas to a ten-acre ranch, with prices ranging from £208,000 to a cool £2.5 million, these are the properties that most frequently caught the eye of house-hunters across Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife and the Borders last month.
Paul Hilton, CEO of ESPC, said: “The top ten most-viewed homes on ESPC is an interesting insight into the wants and needs of house-hunters across East Central Scotland at the moment. Looking at the properties listed, the variety of homes ties into the trends and stats that we’ve been seeing over the past year, with a heavy emphasis on family homes with flexible accommodation.

There’s also a good number of coastal homes, which ties into continuing trends we’re seeing of buyers searching for seaside properties as we exit the pandemic.”
