Shown side by side and never blended. Sold prices are the Registers of Scotland record of completed sales; asking prices are live vendor expectation, context only. This page is not a valuation.
| Measure | Count |
|---|---|

| Available (not under offer) | 26 |
| Fresh (≤20 days) | 15 |
| Stuck (90+ days) | 4 |
| Under offer | 11 |
Each measure as a count out of 37 live listings. The measures can overlap (a fresh listing may also be under offer), so they are separate bars, not a single divided total.
What it rents for, and the yield
Typical long-let asking rent in EH1 runs around £429 a week (£1,859 a month). Rent here is live long-let asking data, and the gross yield is PropertyData's own estimate - a year's rent as a share of price, before letting costs, voids and tax. It sits beside the sold and asking figures; like them, it is market context, not a valuation of any property.
| Type | Per week | Per month | Gross yield | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-bed flats | £429 | £1,859 | - | 23 |

View on Rightmove →How these are chosen. One live listing is selected for buyers, one for sellers and one for agents, drawn at random from every listing in this district that genuinely qualifies on that measure - a keen asking price, a price sitting above the sold evidence, or a long-stalled instruction. Selection is possible by default but never guaranteed, and no placement here is paid for. Asking prices are context, not evidence of value; this page is not a valuation.
