Methodology

The s1homes Scottish House Price Report focuses on the Reality Gap, the difference between sellers’ expectations and what they actually achieve. Its aim is to provide property professionals, home buyers and home sellers with useful accurate information about the reality of the market in their area.

The data is collated and published each quarter for the previous calendar quarter.

s1homes asking price statistics are derived from the advertised asking price of residential properties (including new builds) live on s1homes on the 28th of the last month in the quarter. Using a snapshot ensures that price changes for individual properties which are advertised for a long period of time will be included, giving a clearer picture of fluctuations within the market as a whole.

The following listings are excluded from the data set:

  • Plots of land
  • Properties with an asking price of less than £20,000 or more than £1 million
  • Properties which are advertised as Price on Application

Trends are not presented for those regions where the underlying data is of insufficient size to ensure reasonable accuracy.

Average selling price statistics are taken from ©Crown Copyright quarterly reports released by Registers of Scotland, to view the methodology visit https://www.ros.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/3935/House-Price-Data-Guidance-for-Website-incl-HPI-updated-130616.pdf .
