A new analysis has revealed the street with the most expensive house sales in Tayside and Fife.

Bank of Scotland’s report shows 25 Scottish streets where the average selling price has been more than £1 million in the past five years.

And it includes a St Andrews street where the average selling price has been £1,127,000 since 2018.

The Scores, which last year was the sixth costliest street in the annual Bank of Scotland study, has retained its top spot in Courier Country.

This year it is the 19th most expensive Scottish street.

Why is The Scores so attractive?

The Scores has beautiful period properties and stunning views.

Its high position in the list has come as no surprise to local estate agent Jim Parker from Fife Properties.

He said: “The Scores is next to the Old Course and people want the connection to the golf and history.

“The views are absolutely outstanding and no one can ever build in front of you.

“The homes rarely come up and always sell for high prices.”

Golf Place in St Andrews is a previous winner of the most expensive streets list.

The Scores Hotel, at the bottom of The Scores, is in the process of undergoing a multi-million pound refurbishment.

Currently closed for the 18-month upgrade, it will be turned into a five-star hotel with plans for an extension.

Meanwhile a developer is planning to turn Russel Hotel in the street into four luxury apartments.

It is the only entry in the top 25 list from Tayside and Fife.

Edinburgh dominates expensive street list

All of the top 10 most expensive streets are based in Scotland’s capital this year.

Leading the list is Ann Street, known for its classic Georgian architecture, which has an average sale price of £1,685,000.

Graham Blair, mortgages director at Bank of Scotland, said: “Ann Street in the beautiful city of Edinburgh tops the most expensive list, setting wealthy buyers back almost £1.7m on average.

“While not in the top 10 priciest, homes in St Andrews also don’t come cheap, with The Scores offering properties at over £1.1m on average.”
