The Scores in St Andrews has been named Scotland’s most expensive street with an average house price of more than £2 million.
For the first time, the Fife town has knocked Edinburgh off the top spot in the Bank of Scotland survey.
And house prices have rocketed in the past 12 months, when Edinburgh’s Northumberland Street was the priciest address with an average house price of around £1.3 million.
Now a home in the country’s most expensive postcode will set the buyer back an eye-watering £2,179,000.
Graham Blair, mortgage director at Bank of Scotland, said: “While Edinburgh normally has the X factor when it comes to the nation’s most desirable addresses, this year’s surprise is The Scores in St Andrews taking the top spot as Scotland’s most expensive street.
“With Edinburgh being Scotland’s financial and political hub, it’s little surprise that it still dominates the most expensive streets table. Aberdeen retains a strong presence and the number of expensive streets has almost doubled compared to last year.”
Edinburgh and Aberdeen both have four streets in the top 10, with Balmoral Court in the Perthshire town of Auchterarder in seventh place.
”While the capital and the granite city dominate this survey it is interesting to note that in all 20 most expensive streets the average house price is at least £1 million, suggesting a rise in the number of the prime locations in Scotland,” added Mr Blair.
