Average house prices in Edinburgh have risen to almost \u00a3355,000, according to a firm of independent solicitors and estate agents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lindsays<\/strong>\u00a0says its average sale price in the capital during 2025 was \u00a3354,522 \u2013 up 2.6% on the previous 12 months (\u00a3345,310).<\/p>\n

Its property market experts expect 2026 to be another year of similar price increases, with demand from homebuyers continuing to outstrip supply across the city.<\/p>\n

Edinburgh-headquartered Lindsays believes the current city market remains strong, with properties generally selling at about their home report valuation level.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Maurice Allan, Managing Director of Residential Property at Lindsays,<\/strong>\u00a0said: \u201cThere\u2019s a good balance to the market right now. There\u2019s no reason to suspect that\u2019s going to change.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe big issue that we always have in Edinburgh is lack of supply. There are always people moving here \u2013 it\u2019s a place people want to be \u2013 but there are very few places to build new homes within the city itself. That creates a very particular dynamic to the local market.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect 2026 to be much in line with the past 12 months. There are certainly no signs of a downturn.<\/p>\n

\u201cA market without extremes is always the healthiest. We want to see fluidity in the market, where it\u2019s relatively easy to buy and relatively easy to sell. That\u2019s what we have right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lindsays reported a busy end to the market in 2025, with a good number of prospects in the pipeline moving into this year (2026).<\/p>\n

The firm also operates an estate agency in Dundee, where its average house price sale during 2025 was \u00a3217,751.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chris Todd, Partner and Head of Residential Property at Lindsays,<\/strong>\u00a0said: \u201cOne of the most significant factors that we\u2019re going to see during 2026 will be around the cost of borrowing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe can expect a degree of certainty around interest rates. We do not expect any significant change in those.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat provides a level of certainty, with mortgage lending fairly readily available. That all points towards a balanced, steady market for the next 12 months.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the latest statistics from the UK House Price Index, the average price of a property in Scotland is \u00a3194,000, up 5.3% on the year.<\/p>\n
