Areas we sell across Midlothian
Each figure is the register’s 2023 sales in the area’s zones, moved to August 2026’s prices. The area page shows the zones behind it.
EH22
£223,000typical sale · 261 sales in 2023
A long High Street with the country park behind it, traditional flats above the shops, and interwar semis on the streets running off. Frequent buses into Edinburgh and a short hop to Eskbank station.
EH19
£224,000typical sale · 133 sales in 2023
Bonnyrigg and Lasswade together make the largest settlement in Midlothian, and the one that has grown fastest. Substantial new-build estates on the edges, older terraced and semi-detached stock through the middle, and family houses that rarely sit empty.
EH22
£303,000typical sale · 75 sales in 2023
The best address in the county: villas on tree-lined roads, Newbattle Abbey and the golf course, and a Borders Railway station that puts Waverley about twenty minutes away.
EH23
£214,000typical sale · 101 sales in 2023
The furthest south of the railway towns and the cheapest entry price on the line. Former mining rows, postwar housing and a large tranche of newer estate building, with the station at the top of the village.
EH22
£232,000typical sale · 45 sales in 2023
A planned mining village — the National Mining Museum is the old Lady Victoria Colliery — with long rows of miners’ cottages and a Borders Railway station beside them.
EH22
£167,000typical sale · 84 sales in 2023
Two joined former mining villages east of Dalkeith, with the highest concentration of ex-local-authority housing in the county. The strongest gross yields in Midlothian, and the stock that needs the most hands-on management.
EH22
£332,000typical sale · 114 sales in 2023
The northern tip of Midlothian, over the city bypass from Craigmillar. Danderhall is the old village; Shawfair is the new town going up beside it, with its own railway station and thousands of homes still to build. The closest point in the county to the Royal Infirmary and the BioQuarter.
EH20
£245,000typical sale · 109 sales in 2023
Between the city bypass and Straiton retail park, minutes from the Edinburgh boundary at Burdiehouse. Unglamorous and extremely convenient: terraced and semi-detached houses with parking, and a commute measured in minutes rather than stops.
EH25
£371,000typical sale · 80 sales in 2023
The village of Roslin, its chapel, and the University of Edinburgh’s Easter Bush campus alongside — the vet school, the Roslin Institute and the research park at Bilston.
EH26
£217,000typical sale · 181 sales in 2023
The largest town in the west of the county, under the Pentlands and off the railway line, so it runs on the A701 and the bus.
Three ways to pay, the same across Midlothian as everywhere
IOur lowest rate
Paid Up Front
Our lowest rate, settled in one payment at launch, and the sale itself costs you nothing more.
0.75%
of the Home Report valuation, at launch
Nothing further at settlement
- Your commitment
- Settled in full at launch, then we market it until it sells
- On a £250,000 valuation, for example
- £2,000 in total, all of it at launchOur £2,000 minimum applies up to £266,667, so that is your fee here, known to the pound before marketing begins.
One payment, at the lowest rate we publish, and the sale itself costs you nothing further however much it fetches. It is charged on the surveyor's valuation, which is settled before any marketing begins, so you know your fee in pounds from the first day. If the sale takes longer than expected we keep marketing, with no time limit and nothing more to pay.
II
Part Up Front
One payment towards the marketing at launch, and a lower rate when the sale settles.
1%
of the sale price, at settlement
Plus £595 at launch, paid once
- Your commitment
- £595 at launch, and the rest only on a sale
- On a £250,000 sale, for example
- £595 at launch and £2,500 at settlement, £3,095 in total
One payment at launch buys the marketing, and the rest waits for the sale at a lower rate. The £595 is paid once and buys that marketing outright, so it is the whole of what launching your home ever costs you.
III
No Sale, No Fee
Nothing to pay until the sale settles, when the fee comes straight out of the proceeds.
1.5%
of the sale price, at settlement
Nothing at launch
- Your commitment
- Nothing at all until the sale settles
- On a £250,000 sale, for example
- £3,750 in total, at settlement
We carry the whole cost of the marketing and take our fee from the proceeds when the sale settles. That is what the higher rate covers: the sale pays for everything, and nothing leaves your pocket before it does.
Our fees include VAT at 20%. Nothing is added to the figures shown.
Included, whichever route you choose
Every route buys the same service and the same marketing. What you choose is when the money moves, not what gets done.
Before it goes on the market
- Valuation with the comparable sales written down and given to you
- Advice on the price label — offers over, fixed price or offers around — against the Home Report figure a lender will lend on
- Home Report arranged with the surveyor, at their own price with nothing added
- Terms of business in writing, with the route you chose and the rate you signed
The marketing, on every route
- A professional photographic shoot of every room, the outside and the outlook
- A floorplan drawn to scale, with room dimensions and the total floor area
- A video tour that walks the home in the order a buyer would see it
- Aerial photography where the setting warrants it
- Written copy prepared property by property, with every fact sourced and checked rather than assumed
- Council tax band, tenure, factoring and the Energy Report rating stated on the listing, not left for a buyer to ask for
- The listing on lintelhomes.co.uk, live for the whole time the home is for sale
- A For Sale board, wherever the property and its title allow one
- A social media campaign, planned and paid for by us, and refreshed while the home is on the market
- Direct approach to the buyers already registered with us whose search the home answers
- New photography and a re-launch if the price or the season changes, at no further charge
Viewings, offers and the sale
- Accompanied viewings, booked straight into our diary online, evenings included
- Written feedback within 24 hours of every viewing, whichever way it went
- Notes of interest tracked and reported, and a closing date set when the interest justifies one
- Every offer put to you in writing, with its date of entry and conditions as well as its figure
- Negotiation, and progression through to conclusion of missives and settlement
Charged on top, on every route
Questions
Selling a home across Midlothian
- How much do estate agents charge across Midlothian?
- Ours is published before we visit, the same across Midlothian as everywhere we work, and it includes VAT. Paid Up Front: 0.75% of the Home Report valuation, settled at launch. Part Up Front: £595 at launch, then 1% of the sale price at settlement. No Sale, No Fee: nothing until the sale settles, then 1.5%. A minimum of £2,000 on any of them.
- What do homes sell for across Midlothian?
- Across Midlothian, Registers of Scotland recorded 1,759 sales in 2023 at a median of £261,000, half of them between £182,000 and £375,000. The UK House Price Index has the council up 4% since then, to an average of £277,939 in August 2026. Each area below has its own figure.
- Do I need a Home Report to sell across Midlothian?
- Yes. Every home marketed in Scotland needs a Home Report first: a single survey with a valuation, an energy report and a property questionnaire. We arrange the surveyor at their own price with nothing added, and buyers read the report before they view, so the offers come from people who know the number.
- How much tax does a buyer pay on a typical Midlothian home?
- On £271,000, which is Midlothian's 2023 median moved to August 2026 prices, Land and Buildings Transaction Tax is £3,150 for a buyer replacing their main home, and nil for a first-time buyer below the relief threshold. It is the buyer's cost, not the seller's, but it shapes what they can offer.
