Room In Flat Share In Newington, Edin (Eh9)

Bedroom 3 - available in 3 bed flat share

** SUBJECT TO CONTRACT**

Bedroom 3 (furnished) of a ground floor 3 bed flat is available for let from 2 January 2021. Bedroom 3 (4. 1m x2. 27m) is a large single size/small double with a 3/4 bed (slightly narrower than a full double bed). ** Room refurbished in April 2019 **

The share of the rent for the room is £400 per calendar month (exclusive of share of council tax and other bills - gas, electricity, virgin broadband internet).

You would be sharing with 2 professionals in their 20s, and replacing their current flatmate who is leaving Edinburgh at the end of 2020.

**Please note, the remaining flatmates' strong preference is for another professional to share with, or - for anyone who is themselves exempt from council tax (e. g. a postgrad) - to be prepared to pay a third share of the council tax with them. This would equate to £49.63 per person per month in band D (see below for council tax band details).**

The shared garden is at the back of the property, enclosed by the tenement buildings on all sides, so is private.

As the flat is council tax band D, the annual council tax for whole flat (including water and sewage) is £1,786.70 for 2020/21 (£148.89 per month for the whole flat). As you would be sharing with two other professionals who are not exempt from council tax

***We would be grateful if you would contact us via online message using this site in the first instance (we find arranging enquiries/viewings more manageable that way). Following that I (Joanne, one of the landlords) am happy to answer any questions you have via phone or skype).

The two tenants staying on in the flat in 2021 will be conducting flat viewings in person, so that you can see the flat and get to meet them, but in order to minimise face to face contact for viewings, please ask as many questions as you can beforehand. I also have an unlisted youtube video I can point you to (it's an old video, but nevertheless will give you an idea of what the flat is like). We will be asking anyone viewing the flat to take usual covid-19 safe precautions (wearing a mask during the viewings and maintaining social distance).

thanks, Joanne
