West Dunbartonshire is now the cheapest place in Scotland to buy a property – despite prices rising by 10 percent over the past year.
Data published by chartered surveyors Walker Fraser Steele shows that the average price of a property in the area increased from £136,102 to £150,297 between January 2021 and January 2022.
Despite that rise being higher than many of the other authorities in the lower half of the table, West Dunbartonshire became the cheapest local authority to buy in – falling behind East Ayrshire.
