Houses were clearly in exceptional demand with property seekers, with all but one of the top ten homes being houses of varying sizes and styles. Detached properties were the most desirable, with six making up the top ten, while all but two properties offered at least three bedrooms, hinting at a high level of demand from second-steppers and family buyers looking for longer-term properties to put down roots in.
In contrast to the previous month's list, where there was a wide breadth of budgets, the top ten most viewed homes of April featured an abundance of premium properties. The most popular properties sat at the higher end of the scale in terms of budget with no fewer than eight homes priced over £400,000, with the most expensive home marketed for offers over £895,000, and the cheapest property listed for offers over £185,000. This majority of high-end homes in the list resulted in an average listing price of £551,500.
A mix of locations made the top ten list this month, dominated by Edinburgh, where seven of the properties were located. Midlothian saw two properties making the top ten, both of which were located in Newtongrange, while one property in West Lothian also drew considerable interest from property seekers.
Properties in the top ten list were snapped up in a speedy fashion, with eight of the ten homes having already gone under offer. The desire for buyers to enjoy an easier and quicker transition into their new home was evident in the fact that all of the properties in the list were brought to market in turn-key condition.
In a continuing trend this year, seller confidence in the local market is evident, with all ten properties listed using an “offers over” pricing strategy.
Paul Hilton, CEO of ESPC, commented: “The latest data from espc.com for April 2025 highlights a surge in demand for detached family homes, with nine out of the ten most viewed properties being houses, six of which are detached. And with the majority offering three or more bedrooms, it clearly reflects an appetite from family buyers and second-steppers looking to secure long-term homes that offer both space and flexibility.
“Premium homes dominated buyer interest last month, with eight of the top ten listings priced over £400,000 and an average asking price of £551,500. This underlines the continued strength of the higher-end market. While the top ten included a wide geographical spread, Edinburgh remained the focus of buyer activity with seven properties featured, followed by strong interest in homes in Midlothian and West Lothian.”
“Once again, all top ten homes were marketed as ‘offers over,’ reaffirming robust seller sentiment and a competitive local market as we move further into spring. And encouragingly, eight of these highly sought-after homes have already gone under offer, suggesting that buyer urgency and confidence remain high.”
