ORKNEY and Shetland are witnessing a boom in house price values as Scots suffer a £250 general fall in house prices in a month. New analysis reveals the Covid pandemic craving for open spaces has translated to the desire to buy homes on the Scottish islands, according to a new analysis. This has led to Orkney seeing a 28.8% rise in house price values with average homes costing £183,198 - £20,000 below the price of a typical Scottish home. And on Shetland prices have soared by 27.7% in a year with the typical home now worth £188,317. John Tindale, Acadata senior housing analyst said Orkney and Shetland had been “suitably fitting the pandemic requirements of those looking for wide empty spaces in life-changing locations”.
