The local market
A mix of student-driven demand and waterfront renewal gives buyers options from value flats to sought-after Broughty Ferry homes.
Wherever you buy in Dundee City, the Scottish process is the same: most homes come with a Home Report, sales run through solicitors, and the purchase tax is LBTT rather than Stamp Duty. In competitive streets, expect “offers over” and budget for the gap between the valuation and the agreed price.
