Affordable starter flat with communal garden and parking, ideal for hands-on buyers.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat with freehold tenure
This ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Slateford offers a practical, affordable entry into Edinburgh’s housing market. Bright living spaces and two double bedrooms give genuine room to settle, while a separate kitchen and communal garden add everyday convenience. The property is offered as freehold, with low ongoing costs including a modest monthly stair-cleaning fee and minimal garden maintenance.
The flat needs modernisation, presenting a clear opportunity for a buyer to add value through upgrading kitchens, bathrooms and finishes. The apartment’s EPC rating is E and some refurbishment is required; these are reflected in the price and make it attractive to first-time buyers who can take a hands-on approach.
Location is a strong selling point: fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working, and nearby transport links, shops and amenities suit commuters and students. Residents’ off-street parking and a well-maintained communal lawn provide practical benefits often hard to find at this price point.
Be aware the wider area has higher levels of deprivation, and the property’s overall size is described as small. These factors, plus the need for renovation work, mean the flat is best suited to those looking for an affordable starter home or a renovation project rather than a turnkey move-in property.
