The most viewed homes on espc.com in August 2023
ESPC reveals the top ten homes that were the most popular on espc.com over the last 30 days, racking up over 160,000 views between them.
There was quite a selection of styles and sizes making up the top ten, with the properties garnering the most attention including a majestic, detached four-bedroom villa in Bruntsfield, a stylish modern apartment in Bonnington and an Instagrammable one-bed warehouse conversion located directly on The Shore. Property prices in the top ten showed a real mix of buyers’ budgets too, with prices ranging from a considerable £895,000 to a more budget-friendly £180,000.
Edinburgh remained a hotspot for home-hunters, with nine out of the top ten properties being situated in the Capital, and just one located in nearby Musselburgh. Flats also appeared to be in high demand, with eight flats in the top ten, and the market still appeared to be moving at pace, with three of the properties already under offer.
Paul Hilton, CEO of ESPC, explains the trends: “From our most recent data, it appears that we’ve had plenty of newer buyers searching for their dream property on espc.com during August. There has been huge demand for one- and two-bedroom flats in trendy districts such as The Shore, Canonmills, Newhaven and Bonnington, with prices starting around the £180,000 mark. At the other end of the scale, family homes in prestigious postcodes surrounding Bruntsfield and the New Town have also been popular, and of course, there’s been plenty of popularity for properties close to the water, with homes in Musselburgh, Joppa and Duddingston all making our top ten, as buyers continue in their droves to search for a home close to the coast.
“Newer and more modern properties have certainly been very popular with house-hunters in August, with demand this month leaning away from the more traditional period properties that Edinburgh is so well-known for and towards newer, lower-maintenance homes. As always, it’s a mixed bag but that’s what makes the Edinburgh property market so incredibly interesting – every month is different!”
