ESPC list the most popular properties of the month
The ten properties which were most popular with house hunters on espc.com in April 2025, attracted more than 70,000 online views between them during the month.
All but one of the top ten homes were houses of varying sizes and styles with detached properties the most desirable. Six detached homes made it into the top ten,and almost all properties had at least three bedrooms, hinting at a high level of demand from buyers looking for longer-term properties live in.
The top ten most viewed homes 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. The most expensive home was 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.
Seven of the properties were located in Edinburgh and the others were in Newtongrange and in West Lothian.
It is always interesting to see how quickly some homes sell and those on the list were snapped up quickly. Eight of them are already under offer within the month, reflecting the excellent condition in which they were brought to the market.
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.”
