This compact ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Newington offers efficient city living close to the university and city centre. The open-plan living and kitchen area is modern and bright, with integrated appliances and double glazing making it ready to occupy.
Practical features include freehold tenure, a well-maintained communal rear garden and on-street resident permit parking. The monthly factor contribution is modest at about £40 (annual £470), and council tax is described as cheap — helpful for a first-time buyer or investor seeking low running costs.
Shortfalls to note: the flat is small (approximately 344 sq ft) with a compact layout suited to a single occupant or couple. Heating is electric, which can be more expensive than mains gas, and the local area is classified as relatively deprived and dominated by students and commuters. Street parking is pay & display or by permit rather than private parking.
Overall this is a sensible, affordable central-Edinburgh starter property or buy-to-let opportunity — well-located, low-charge communal maintenance, and ready for immediate occupation with scope for personalisation.
