Cramond house prices
What do homes sell for in Cramond?
Cramond covers the EH4 postcode district of Edinburgh. A conservation village on the Forth shoreline in north-west Edinburgh, where estuary outlook, plot size and school catchment set the price. Lothian Property publishes independent selling information for this area, and publishes selling prices only once they are confirmed against ESPC and Registers of Scotland data.
How to read Cramond price data
Published averages tell you about the mix of property that happened to sell, not about your home. A quarter with three villa sales will show a higher average than a quarter of one-bedroom flats on the same streets, with no change in underlying values.
The figures on this page are taken directly from ESPC market reports and Registers of Scotland House Price Statistics, with the period and publication date shown. Where we have no verified figure for Cramond, we show nothing rather than an estimate.
What sellers in Cramond need to know
Cramond is a small, high-value market where buyers are choosing a very specific way of living — the foreshore, the island causeway, the promenade to Silverknowes — and they will wait for the right property rather than settle nearby. That patience means a well-presented Cramond home can command a strong figure, and an indifferently presented one can sit while buyers hold out for the next release.
The stock ranges from conservation-area village property to substantial interwar and post-war houses on generous plots. Because the price gap between those groups is wide, comparable evidence must be drawn from the same group; a village cottage priced off a Cramond Road South detached figure will not survive the Home Report.
Condition scrutiny is high. Buyers at this level instruct their own inspections, so pre-empting roof, window and damp questions before marketing is materially cheaper than negotiating them afterwards.
What kind of property sells in Cramond?
| Property type | What drives the price |
|---|---|
| Conservation village property | Whitewashed cottages and period houses around the kirk and the harbour — scarce and sold on setting. |
| Detached houses on large plots | Interwar and post-war family homes where garden, aspect and privacy dominate the valuation. |
| Bungalows | Strong downsizer demand from owners staying in EH4, consistently short in supply. |
| Modern and converted apartments | A limited pool, mostly bought for the location by downsizers and professionals. |
How should I prepare a Cramond home for sale?
- Get the sash and case windows working. Buyers of period homes open them, and a window that sticks reads as deferred maintenance across the whole property.
- Photograph on a bright day with the shutters folded back — Edinburgh interiors live or die on natural light, and grey-day photography costs you viewings.
- Deal with visible damp staining before the Home Report survey rather than after. A category 3 comment is far more expensive than the repair.
- Clear surfaces and reduce furniture by roughly a third. Period proportions are the product; furniture hides them.

Cramond seller questions
- Where do the Cramond house price figures come from?
- Recorded sale prices for EH4 and the surrounding Edinburgh streets, published by the Registers of Scotland and updated as each period is confirmed. We publish the source and the period alongside every figure, and we do not adjust the numbers.
- Why is the average Cramond price different from what my home is worth?
- An average blends every property type sold in the period, so it moves with the mix of flats and houses as much as with the market. Condition, floor level, outlook and the state of the common parts move an individual Cramond property well away from the average in either direction.
