Inflation has remained stable, albeit above the Bank's 2% target. BoE governor Andrew Bailey welcomed the US-Iran agreement but also urged caution as energy prices continue to run higher than they did before the conflict.

NEW BLOG POST - Few cities can rival Edinburgh’s architectural beauty. From the elegant Georgian crescents of the New Town to the grand Victorian villas of Morningside and the characterful tenements of Marchmont and Bruntsfield, the city’s period homes continue to capture the imagination of buyers from across Scotland and beyond.

Here's just one fact: the Scottish residential property market grew by 45%. It's now worth more than £24 billion, the highest value since records began more than 20 years ago: https://bit.ly/4vHaR4d

Did you know ... box beds used to be a common feature of pre-19th century tenements.

These sleeping compartments were sometimes built into recesses or cupboards within the walls. A common feature in Edinburgh tenement flats, they made it easy to heat sleeping areas efficiently and gave a little more privacy.

Box beds might be enclosed by sliding or hinged panels, creating a compact space within a larger room. Surviving examples are rare, but those that still exist are considered important historic interior features.

As we’re moving into summer, Edinburgh’s period home market maintained steady momentum: https://bit.ly/4vsZg8B

Buyer activity remains concentrated on the city’s most desirable family-oriented neighbourhoods. Demand for Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian properties continued to exceed available stock across areas including the Grange, the West End, Morningside and Stockbridge, supporting pricing and transactional activity despite a more challenging economic backdrop.

The broader environment, however, has become increasingly shaped by inflation concerns, higher energy costs and uncertainty surrounding the future path of interest rates. Against that backdrop, Edinburgh’s upper-tier housing market continues to demonstrate resilience, reflecting both constrained supply and the relatively affluent buyer profile that characterises the city’s period-home sector.
