The average sale price for Scottish residential property over £1m has now hit more than £1.5m for the first time, according to research by property-data consultancy, HomeBench, commissioned by Fyndd.

The research revealed that the average price in the prime-property market was £1,533,265 in the first half of 2025, with an average of £450 per square foot.

Fyndd is the evolution of Prime Edinburgh Property, which has relaunched with a new identity and is now operating across Scotland.

Jamie McNeill, director of Fyndd, said: “Edinburgh remains Scotland’s prime market but we’re seeing more buyers looking beyond the capital for space, coastline and lifestyle. Additionally, more rural homes in areas such as the Borders, East Lothian, Fife, Stirling and Perthshire are crossing the £1m threshold. The result is a broader, more diverse market than we’ve ever seen.

“We expect to see a strong performance going into the autumn with further growth in

lifestyle-driven markets in the last quarter of the year and into 2026, with solid demand for prime rural property in those areas.

“The market today is more opaque than in previous years but that’s creating real opportunities. Many sellers are motivated but not desperate. As a result, they are looking for greater certainty and control, which means more of the best properties are being traded discreetly, off-market. For buyers, that makes trusted representation more important than ever.”

Commenting on the launch of Fyndd, Jamie said: “The demand for our services has both grown and changed in the last few years. As a result, we have adapted our offering to reflect these shifting aspirations and help clients secure their ideal homes across Scotland."

Based in Edinburgh, the brokerage-style agency includes Andy Cramond, an ex-professional rugby player now turned property investor/developer and Matthew Little, a renovation and design specialist.
