"Prime Scottish sales activity picked up post-summer, although pricing is under pressure due to high levels of available stock. Looking ahead, whilst a possible increased tax burden might impact sentiment, underlying demand for well-presented and realistically priced properties will support transactional growth."

"Scotland’s prime market has seen a record number of agreed sales so far this year, with a recovery in prices in some areas as mortgage rates settle. As more properties become available, realistic pricing will remain essential for underlying demand to continue to translate into transactional activity"

"Prime Scottish sales have picked up post-summer, with prices holding steady. Looking ahead, the market will continue to be supported by cash purchases. But with more choice for increasingly discerning buyers, appropriate pricing is now essential to maintain the rate of agreed sales"

"Prime activity across Scotland is defying expectations, with an annual increase in £500,000+ sales"

"Scotland’s prime market has witnessed a positive start to the year with constrained supply underpinning values. However, as a wider selection of properties become available, realistic pricing will be essential in order to convert underlying levels of demand into transactional activity"

"Looking further ahead, the prime Scotland market will remain robust as the value gap and quality of life, alongside the strength and depth of Edinburgh and Glasgow’s economy, means there’s more capacity for growth, and we expect the markets here to outperform the overall prime UK market over the next five years"

"Prime market begins to rebalance"

"Demand continues to outweigh supply"
