A

cursory search
for Edinburgh
properties will
highlight the fact that
properties are not
exactly abundant
here.

Estate agents
in the city say some
are selling for 20 per
cent more than their
original valuations.
While houses and flats
in the most popular
areas are selling just
24 hours after going
on the market.

With this in
mind, Landlord voice
has taken a closer
look at the figures to
find out how much
property rents and
sells for.
