Where do the Murrayfield house price figures come from?

Recorded sale prices for EH12 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 Murrayfield 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 Murrayfield property well away from the average in either direction.

Murrayfield house prices

What do homes sell for in Murrayfield?

Murrayfield covers the EH12 postcode district of Edinburgh. Substantial west Edinburgh villas and mature garden plots, minutes from the city centre and consistently sought by families trading up. 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 Murrayfield 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 Murrayfield, we show nothing rather than an estimate.

What sellers in Murrayfield need to know

Murrayfield is a house market. The buyers are typically moving up from a central flat or relocating into the city, and they are buying space, garden and the ability to stay put for fifteen years. Presentation of the whole plot — approach, drive, garden, outbuildings — matters as much as the interior.

Because individual houses vary so much, valuation here is genuinely bespoke. Two properties on the same road can differ by a substantial margin on the strength of plot width, whether the house has been extended sympathetically, and how the rear garden faces. Averages are close to useless; comparable evidence for similar plots is what counts.

Buyers at this level scrutinise the Home Report and will commission their own advice on anything structural. Getting ahead of roof, stonework and boiler questions before marketing removes the two most common causes of renegotiation after an offer is accepted.

What kind of property sells in Murrayfield?

Property types in Murrayfield and how they are valued
Property type	What drives the price
Detached villas	Late Victorian and Edwardian stone houses on generous plots — the core of the Murrayfield market.
Semi-detached houses	Substantial family homes, often extended to the rear, with strong demand and limited supply.
Townhouses	Modern and period terraced houses offering family space at a lower entry point.
Conversions	Large villa conversions provide well-proportioned flats with period detail and shared grounds.
Bungalows	Sought after by downsizers who want to remain in the area, and by buyers seeing extension potential.

How should I prepare a Murrayfield home for sale?

Fix the approach first. Drive, gate, hedge and front door are the first frame of every viewing and every photograph.
Commission a roof and stonework check before marketing rather than after an offer — it protects the price you agree.
Stage one room as a genuine home office. It is the most requested space in this market.
Cut back overgrown boundary planting so the plot reads at its full width in photography.

About Murrayfield

It combines large houses and mature gardens with a genuinely short commute into the centre, which is what keeps demand steady.
