Summary - 166/9, CAUSEWAYSIDE, EDINBURGH EH9 1PN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Top-floor one-bedroom producing reliable income in a strong rental area.
Tenanted, fully compliant buy-to-let producing immediate rental income
A compact, income-producing top-floor flat in Causewayside, suited to buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental return. The one-bedroom apartment is tenanted and fully compliant, producing £970pcm (6.5% gross yield at the current price), so it delivers income from day one with minimal management change.
The accommodation is bright and practical within 43 sq m: entrance hall, living room with study area, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. The flat benefits from gas central heating and UPVC double glazing; it sits in a traditional sandstone tenement close to the University of Edinburgh, The Meadows and good transport links — consistent demand from students and professionals.
Buyers should factor in limitations: the internal area is small, there is no private outdoor space, and the building exterior shows weathering and patch repairs. The property is sold with tenants in situ (furnished let), so any immediate personal occupation or refurbishment would need to respect the existing tenancy. EPC rating D and the surrounding area is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth compared with other city areas.
Overall this is a straightforward, low‑maintenance investment in a proven rental location. It suits purchasers prioritising steady income and location-driven demand rather than large-scale capital appreciation or owner-occupation right away.
