February’s most popular homes on espc.com paint an interesting picture of a market that remains active and aspirational. The top ten most viewed properties attracted an impressive 93,464 views in total, with a notable mix of property types and locations capturing buyers’ attention.
Houses continued to lead the way, accounting for six of the ten most viewed homes, while four flats also secured places in the rankings - a higher proportion than usual. In fact, it’s rare to see so many flats in the top ten, and even more surprising that they claimed the top four positions overall, highlighting strong demand for high-quality apartment living at the start of the year.
Space remains a clear priority for buyers. Six of the featured homes offered four or five bedrooms, including one five-bedroom property and five four-bedroom homes. A further three properties provided two bedrooms, with one three-bedroom home completing the list. This spread reflects a market driven largely by families and upsizers, while still demonstrating sustained interest in well-located flats.
Prices ranged from £240,000 to £750,000, with a combined total sales value of £4,784,000. The average selling price came in at £478,400 - just shy of half a million pounds - underlining the premium nature of the homes drawing the greatest attention in February. All ten properties were marketed as “offers over,” reinforcing continued seller confidence at the start of 2026.
Location once again played a defining role. Edinburgh dominated the rankings, home to six of the ten most viewed properties, with homes spread right across the capital. East Lothian featured twice, maintaining its consistent presence in the top rankings, while West Lothian made a rare appearance with one property breaking into the top ten. Also providing one property, Midlothian made its first appearance in the top ten homes since September 2025.
Interestingly, while interest levels were high, only four of the ten properties were under offer by the end of February, leaving six still available (with one going to a closing date). This marks a notable shift from last month, when seven of the top ten homes had already gone under offer, suggesting a slightly steadier pace of conversion despite strong viewing figures.
Paul Hilton, CEO of ESPC, commented:
February’s figures show that buyer interest remains extremely strong, with nearly 94,000 views across just ten properties. What’s particularly striking is the prominence of flats this month. To see four flats in the top ten - and occupying the top four positions - is unusual and reflects growing demand for high-quality, well-located homes within the capital.
At the same time, the data confirms that larger family houses continue to command attention, with four- and five-bedroom homes making up the majority of the list. An average price of just under £500,000 highlights that buyers are focusing on premium properties and long-term moves rather than purely entry-level purchases.
While fewer of these homes have gone under offer compared to last month, the sustained viewing numbers demonstrate that appetite remains strong. Edinburgh continues to dominate, East Lothian maintains its appeal, and it’s encouraging to see West Lothian make a rare appearance. Overall, the market is showing resilience, depth, and a broad range of demand as we move further into the year.
