Hitting the housing hot spots

Families and investors look north for property bargains

Hitting the housing hot spots

Glenrothes in Scotland has been identified by a property website as Britain's most popular affordable town for families.

Situated in the heart of Fife, and within commuting distance to Edinburgh, Glenrothes is nestled among beautiful landscapes.

Zoopla measured affordability by looking at the ratio of average three-bed house prices in locations, compared with average earnings in the local authority area.

Its popularity ranking was based on the average number of Zoopla listing views for a typical three-bed home in each area, with the research based on the first quarter of 2025.

The website also commissioned a survey of 2,000 people across the UK by Opinium in April, which found around a third (34%) of people fear being priced out of their ideal family home location.

Scotland and Wales dominated the list of the most popular towns in Zoopla’s top 10.
