Plush city street boasts most expensive homes in Scotland
An Edinburgh postcode has topped a list of streets in Scotland with the most expensive property price tags so far this year.
It comes as Rightmove revealed the most expensive streets to buy and rent a house on in the UK for 2024.
Alongside the data, the figures show the three priciest streets to buy a house on in Scotland, as well as the highest typical property price for each one this year, to date.
Simpson Loan in Edinburgh was crowned the most expensive street to live on in Scotland, according to Rightmove.
With its close proximity to The Meadows and Bruntsfield, and with many of its properties having Edinburgh Castle views, it’s hardly surprising it is so sought after. So far in 2024, the highest typical property price tag for this street is £534,167.
In second spot for Scotland was Clarkston Road, in the south side of Glasgow, where the typical property price for 2024 is £308,125. Third place went to Hyndland Road in Glasgow’s posh west end, with a typical property price of £287,500 this year.
Outside of Scotland, Buckingham Gate in central London topped the list of UK streets with the most expensive property price tags this year so far.
Nestled near Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Gate in Westminster was found by Rightmove to have the highest average price being asked by home-sellers so far this year, at £9,633,333.
Outside London, Old Avenue in Weybridge, Surrey, had the highest average asking price for properties in 2024 so far, at £2,633,333, the property website found.
