This first-floor, four-bedroom flat on Leith Walk offers a turnkey investment in a central, well-connected pocket of Edinburgh. The property holds a valid HMO licence and has a proven rental track record — previously achieving £2,800 PCM and with current market advice indicating £2,900–£3,000 PCM, giving a projected gross yield above 10% at the fixed price of £335,000.
Set in a Georgian/Victorian mixed-use building, the apartment is bright with high ceilings at the front and large windows. Accommodation includes a spacious sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen, four double bedrooms, and a three-piece family bathroom. Practical features such as gas central heating, double glazing and included fixtures/appliances reduce immediate spend and support tenant appeal.
Buyers should note practical constraints: there is a single bathroom serving four double bedrooms, the overall flat footprint is modest for a four-bedroom HMO, and the EPC rating is D. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which supports rental demand and yields but may bring higher turnover and management needs. Parking is on-street by permit (Zone N1) rather than private parking.
Overall this property suits investors or landlords seeking an HMO-ready opportunity in a central location near public transport, universities and the city centre. The combination of location, licence, and realistic rental upside makes it a straightforward income purchase, but prospective purchasers should budget for ongoing management, potential minor upgrades and the limitations of one bathroom for four tenants.
