10 Scottish Least Expensive Seaside Towns for Homebuyers

What are the least expensive seaside towns for homebuyers in Scotland? Let us talk to the realtors this time. We are interested in those operating in Scotland. We understand that the real estate industry has experienced some dramatic changes in recent times. Yet, the love Brits have for the seaside has not changed. Homes in these seaside towns have always been highly sought after. But what about the cost? If you are among those interested in exploring a home here, here is a list of 10 Scottish least expensive seaside towns for homebuyers. You can be sure that buying a home in one of those towns will not tear your pocket. Since market prices are hardly stable, even regular these days, we base this discussion on the registers of Scotland of house price data for 2020.

10. Stranraer
Stranraer can be one of your best options. This is a seaside town in Dumfries and Galloway. Also known as The Toon, Stranraer lies on the shores of Loch Ryan. It is on the northern side of the Isthmus where it joins the Rhins of Galloway to the mainland. The town about 164 kilometers from Edinburgh and 140 kilometers west of Glasgow is the second largest town in Dumfries and Galloway. As a seaside town, it used to be a ferry port serving as a connection between Scottish towns and Belfast and Larne in Northern Ireland. However, the last service was transferred from Stranraer to nearby Cairnryan in November 2011. Despite the general increase in home price, the average price of a home in Stranraer is still 110,674 pounds.
9. Irvine
Irvine is another good seaside town for home buyers in Scotland. It is even less expensive than Stranraer. This ancient settlement was a royal burgh in medieval times. Today, it is a new town in North Ayrshire, Scotland lying on the coast of the Firth of Clyde. It is the largest settlement in North Ayrshire. As of the 12th century, it was the military capital of Scotland and the headquarters of the Lord High Constable of Scotland, Hugh de Morville. It also served in ancient times as the capital of Cunninghame during the eras of David I, Robert II, and Robert III. In this one of the earliest capitals of Scotland, the price of an average home is currently around 109,685 pounds.
8. Wick
The inclusion of the seaside town of Wick, a royal burgh in Caithness on this list can be understood. The town in the far north of Scotland, straddling the River Wick and extending along both sides of Wick Bay has no attractive economy. Thus, there is very little demand for homes in the town lying on the estuary of the River Wick, spanned by two road bridges. A specialist glass company was established in Wick in 1961. But in 1979, production started moving to Perth. By 2004, manufacturing in Wick ceased severing the physical connection with Caithness. Thus, demand for everything available for sale at Wick has continued to decline since then. Even though it has quality homes with high standards, their average price is only 106,062 pounds.
7. Thurso
Still less expensive than Wick is Thurso, a town and also a former burgh on the north coast of the Highland council area. This town at the junction of the north-south A9 and the west-east A836 roads is situated in the historical County of Caithness. As the northernmost town on Great Britain Island, it’s connected to the Bridge of Forss in the west and Castletown in the east. The 55-kilometer River Thurso flows through it and into Thurso Bay. The estuary of this river serves as a small harbor.
The research from the Bank of Scotland with the ability to determine the movement of each pound within Scotland confirms this. This is in addition to our source that gives the average home price in Thurso as 104,041 pounds.
6. Saltcoats
Saltcoats, a town on the west coast of North Ayrshire, is the sixth on our list. You’d guess right if you’re relating this town to salt based on its very name. It actually derives its name from its earliest salt industry. In those days, the seawater of the Firth of Clyde was the center of salt harvest. When it was being carried out in small cottages along the shore.
