Revealed: Scotland’s costliest neighbourhood is Aberdeen suburb

Milltimber, where the average house price is £432,431, topped the list of the highest value towns and neighbourhoods anywhere in the country, according to Zoopla.co.uk’s annual Scottish property rich list.

The firm also highlighted the most expensive streets in the nation to buy property, with Edinburgh’s North Charlotte Street topping the list.

The capital address, close to the First Minister’s official residence in Charlotte Square, has an average house price of £1,791,179 over the past 12 months according to the report, some £1.6m more than the average price across Scotland as a whole.

The list placed two locations in East Lothian in second and third place respectively. Humbie, near Haddington, had an average house price of £388,076, while North Berwick had an average property value of £313,556.

There are now 31 streets in Scotland with an average house price over £1m – 14 of those in Edinburgh, reaffirming the capital’s status as the nation’s property hot spot.

Elsewhere in the list of the most expensive streets, Caledonian Crescent on the luxury Gleneagles Golf Course, where the average property price is £1,591,927, came second while Whitehouse Terrace in Edinburgh was in third place with house prices averaging £1,520,685.

Not one address in Glasgow featured in Zoopla’s top-20 most valuable streets or neighbourhoods, but Scotland’s biggest city took 20th place on its most expensive postcode list for G61, in the upmarket Bearsden area.

Nicholas Leeming, of Zoopla.co.uk, said: “The Scottish residential property market boasts some extraordinary homes and while house prices on average are lower than other parts of Britain, in Scotland you get a lot more bang for your buck.

“For example, in London’s most expensive neighbourhood, Kensington, an area the size of an iPad will set you back over £550, while in Milltimber, Scotland’s most expensive area, the same floor space costs just £124.”
