Most expensive street in Fife no surprise to local property expert
The Scores’ high position in the list comes as no surprise to Jim Parker from Fife Properties.
He said: “The views are absolutely outstanding and no one can ever build in front of you.
“It’s a stone’s throw away from The Old Course, shops and restaurants. Everything comes together to make an idyllic location.
“It’s why people pay top dollar for that area.
He said the KY16 9JA postcode had 25 properties and there have been 17 sales since 1995.
A recent sale included a seven-bedroom semi-detached house for £3.25m in 2019.
Golf Place in St Andrews is a previous winner of the most expensive streets list.
Edinburgh dominates list
The Scores Hotel, at the bottom of The Scores, is in the process of undergoing a multi-million pound refurbishment.
Currently closed for the 18 month upgrade, it will be turned into a five star hotel. Subject to planning permission an extension will be added.
Eight of the top 10 places are for streets in Edinburgh.
Graham Blair, director at Bank of Scotland, said: “Edinburgh continues to attract the highest house prices in Scotland.
“The entry of two coastal roads outside the city is indicative of the housing market over the past 18 months.
“Priorities have changed, homes that offer more space are more valuable to buyers than homes in prime commuting locations.
“Therefore, those with deeper pockets are starting to look further afield for their forever home.”
