The House Price Outlook balance, the difference between the proportion of people that expect house prices to rise rather than fall, also indicated a positive outlook on Scottish House Prices as it had increased by +2% from January (+4) to June (+6).

Nitesh Patel, housing economist at Bank of Scotland, said: “Overall, we expect little change in prices and sales over the remainder of the year, provided that the Scottish economic outlook does not deteriorate significantly.”
