Westminster came top with a house price increase of 105.5%, followed by Hackney (93.3%) and then the City of London (91.4%).
The Shetlands was the only region outside of London to feature in the top 10.
Alex Gosling, CEO of HouseSimple.com, said: “Today you can buy a house in Shetland for less than a third of what you’d pay in a London borough like Hackney, or around £60,000 less than in Edinburgh.
