Selling your property in Edinburgh or the Lothians?
Lothian Property is an independent property information and introduction service for homeowners in Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian and West Lothian.

Free • No obligation • Takes around 2 minutes
Why us
Why homeowners start with Lothian Property
Independent by design
We are not an estate agency, so we have no listing of our own to defend. Our only job is pointing you at the right professional.
Edinburgh and Lothian focus
Street-level knowledge of these postcodes — what sells, what stalls, and what buyers here will pay a premium for.
Carefully selected partners
Every professional we introduce is approved, covers your area and property type, and is measured on how they actually perform for sellers.
Your data, your permission
Nothing is shared with anyone until you tick the box that says so. No pre-ticked consent, no details buried in the terms.
One place for the whole move
Agent, solicitor, home report, mortgage, removals — the full journey handled from a single starting point.
The process
How Lothian Property works
- 01
Tell us about the property
A short property review — address, type, condition, and when you are thinking of selling. Around two minutes, no obligation.
- 02
Understand what it could achieve
We set your home against local sold evidence and current buyer appetite on your street, so you start from a realistic figure rather than a guess.
- 03
Work out what you actually need
Speed, top price, preparing the home, understanding costs, or simply a solicitor. Different needs point to very different professionals.
- 04
We match you to the right professionals
We select independent estate agents and property professionals who genuinely cover your area, property type and price range — never a blanket send to everyone.
- 05
You decide who gets in touch
Nothing is shared until you give clear permission, and wherever practical you see who we propose to introduce you to before it happens.
- 06
The introduction is made
Your chosen professionals contact you directly to arrange a valuation and take the sale forward. They are the estate agent — we are not.
- 07
We stay alongside you
Guides, checklists and the rest of your move — solicitor, home report, mortgage, removals — stay in one place for as long as you need them.
Areas we cover
The kind of homes we help people sell
A look at the housing stock across the areas we cover. Lothian Property does not market or sell homes — we explain your local market and introduce you to the right professionals.
Edinburgh
Morningside
Victorian bay-windowed villas and generous family flats, strongly driven by school catchment.
Edinburgh
Leith
Converted merchants' buildings and modern waterside flats within walking distance of the Shore.
Your property options
Something changed? Start with what it means, not with a for-sale board.
Separation, an inherited house, a mortgage that has become a stretch, a job move. Each of these has options — and selling is only one of them. Our guides explain what usually happens in Scotland and when you should be speaking to a professional.
Separation or divorce
What normally happens to a jointly owned home, and the options before anyone decides to sell.
Bereavement or inherited property
Confirmation, executor powers, empty-property costs and what usually happens before a sale.
Mortgage payments becoming difficult
What options exist when the mortgage is a stretch — long before arrears or repossession.
Mortgage arrears or repossession worries
Where arrears lead in Scotland, what help exists, and whether selling first is possible.
Downsizing or retirement
Moving to something smaller, releasing equity from a family home, and the order to do it in.
Relocating for work
Coordinating a Scottish sale with a start date, and what to do if the dates do not line up.
Property wanted
Buyers are looking for property that isn’t on the market
Land, yards, woodland, commercial premises and unusual buildings across Edinburgh, the Lothians and Central Scotland. If you own something that fits a live requirement, you can tell us confidentially — no advertising, no obligation, and nothing shared without your permission.

Large Victorian flats, terraces and villas between the Old Town and the south side, where condition and layout decide whether a property competes or stalls.

About Lothian Property
An independent starting point, not an estate agency
Lothian Property is an independent property information and introduction service. We are not an estate agency. We help homeowners understand their property, their options and their local market, and — where appropriate and only with your permission — introduce them to independent estate agents and other property professionals who can assist.
How Lothian Property worksCommon questions
- What does Lothian Property actually do for a homeowner?
- We publish independent property information for Edinburgh and the Lothians and, only where you ask us to, introduce you to a regulated professional — a solicitor estate agent, surveyor, solicitor or trade. We never market or sell property ourselves.
- Is a property review the same as an estate agent valuation?
- No. A property review is written information about your property and its local market — recent evidence, condition factors, the options open to you. A formal valuation for sale or lending purposes can only be given by a RICS registered valuer, which we arrange separately if you want one.
- Does it cost anything to use Lothian Property?
- Nothing to the homeowner. Where you ask for an introduction and later instruct that professional, they may pay us an introduction fee. That is set out in full on our how we make money page before you decide anything.
