The most expensive streets to buy a house on or rent on have been revealed in new data from the property website Rightmove.

They created lists based on streets where there are at least five properties for sale and rent this year.

Perhaps unsurprisingly London dominated in both categories, so alongside the main lists a separate one was made for locations outside of London.

In Scotland, the most expensive street on average in terms of sales this year so far was Simpson Loan in Edinburgh, with an average cost of £534,167.

The street, located close to the city's university, features a number of properties with views of the Meadows.

Not all streets are included in the list, as Rightmove only looked at areas with at least five properties for sale or rent in 2024.

"Although the possibility of buying one of these homes is limited to a very lucky few, there’s clearly a fascination with these prestigious homes as we find they’re often among our most viewed properties on Rightmove.”
