Over a third of Edinburgh’s Quartermile properties owned overseas

What happened: More than one-third of properties in Edinburgh's Quartermile area have been purchased by buyers living outside the UK.

Why it matters:

  • This trend affects local housing availability and property prices.
  • It raises questions about community ties and investment in the area.

MNN Take: The increase in foreign ownership reflects broader patterns in urban property markets, influencing local demographics and housing dynamics.
