Buying in Elgin
Located on the banks of the river Lossie, Elgin has a good claim to being one of the most historic towns anywhere in Scotland. For over 1000 years Elgin and the surrounding area has played host to a series of important events in Scotland’s history, from medieval battles to the Reformation and the Jacobite uprising. It’s thanks to this rich history that Elgin attracts many visitors, keen to experience its unique historic beauty and explore the natural splendour of the wider Moray area. Elgin’s ruined cathedral, which has nevertheless inhabited its current spot since the 13th century, is a major attraction.
Elgin is the administrative centre of Moray and is well connected to nearby population centres such as Forres, Nairn and Inverness. Most of the region’s economic activity is centred around Elgin, with the vast majority of Moray’s population living in the north of the county and the region’s main road, the A96 between Aberdeen and Inverness, passing through here. In recent times, Elgin’s economy, and therefore also the property market, has been dominated by the presence of two air force bases, RAF Lossiemouth and Kinloss, which were responsible for employing, directly or indirectly, 21% of the population. Although RAF Kinloss was converted to a barracks in 2012, the two bases are still a stimulating force on the local economy, supporting a consistently buoyant property market.
Elgin’s long and rich history is evident in the great variety of property in the comparatively small town. The town boasts traditional sandstone terraces and cottages, tenement properties, modern detached and semi-detached properties, as well as large villas and bungalows. Beyond the historic quarter of Elgin, there are several modern developments offering several kinds of new-build property.
The average price for property in Elgin stood at £209,157 in January 2024. Though different property types in Elgin have had different average selling prices over the last 12 months: £282,208 for detached properties, £178,887 for semi-detached, £143,298 for terraced, and £110,499 for flats.
