The room / flat - PLEASE read full ad
I have a double room for let in my 2-bedroom flat in Leith. The flat is mine, and will be a live-in landlord situation - however I am pretty chilled about most things. The flat itself is situated close to Easter Road, with plenty of bus stops nearby. The flat is about a 20-30 minute walk from the city center, with plenty of pubs, restaurants and a small park on our doorstep.
Lodgers will have free, underground secure parking (a real rarity In Edinburgh), and their own private bathroom. The room is furnished, and fairly spacious. It has a desk and desk chair, for those whom are students or WFH
Shared storage space in the spacious kitchen (gas hob), and shared access to living area. Lodgers will also have usage of household facilities (dishwasher, washing machine etc) as well as the usage of pots, pans and crockery that are already here. You are of course (within reason, depending on storage capacity) welcome to bring your own pots, pans etc - however there are plenty here if you wish to travel light.
The building has a factoring fee, which I will cover in its entirety (as it can be variable). Utility bills will be split, WiFi is £40 P. C. M, Gas & Electricity has averaged out approximately £50 - 100 (total) P. C. M, though expecting this to drop a bit.
Council tax is band D (Totalling £1949.98 P. A).
It should be noted, I am a full time student at QMU, thus I am exempt from council tax. If you are also a student (preferred) then there is no issue as you will also be exempt. For working professionals, there would be a 25% discount added to the total bill ( totalling £1462.49 P. A / £121.87 P. C. M) which you would be liable for.
Who am I looking for?
Ideally a mature / masters student. Whilst I enjoy some social eating & drinking, I’m not much of a party-goer and it will not become a party flat. Looking for someone that is somewhat sociable, and enjoys the odd drink / meal time, but also enjoys their own space (as I very much enjoy mine). I have no preference on sex / gender or age, all I ask is you respect my property.
You must also be comfortable with dogs, specifically large dogs, as my partner & I own a large breed, who comes to visit regularly - don't worry, he is very friendly**
Looking for a let until June - august time, after that I will be renting out the property entirely (for the right candidate, if they wish to stay longer we can discuss things)
**She & the dog live in another city - don’t worry**
About me
I am an MSc student at QMU (Physiotherapy). I am also a self employed Strength and Conditioning coach who enjoys powerlifting, good food, good beer and whisky.
If this is up your street, you can even sample the collection. In my down time (when I am not training / working) I tend to enjoy gaming, watching TV / Films and reading. I can be somewhat introverted, but I enjoy a good chat and a laugh.
Sorry, the room is no longer available
