The developer, which is currently selling homes in East Lothian, Midlothian and Edinburgh, achieved its record three-month period from July to September, posting an average selling price of close to £450,000.

This included a run of reservations at its flagship development The Crescent, in the grounds of the capital’s Donaldson College, with sales exceeding £20 million.

In Midlothian, the developer completed its final sale at Mayburn Park in Straiton, while recording "strong" sales at Castle Bay near Dunbar, East Lothian.

Sales and marketing director Philip Hogg said: “We’re delighted with the reception our developments have received and encourage buyers to act quickly if they are looking to secure a home this year or early into 2020.

“It’s clear that buyers have reacted positively to a range of purchaser incentives available, to take much of the stress out of a home move.”
