Unfurnished Double Bedroom Available in Leith July

Hey!

My flatmate is moving out as her visa is expiring, so can no longer stay here beyond end of July.

Ideally looking for a professional (rather than a student) to split the council tax costs. Open to short or long term rental considerations - but do note the room is unfurnished. Housemate is open to selling her bed + mattress for £250- photos of exact bed to come (current photos do not reflect the bed that is for sale).

About me (Your potential new flatmate):
I'm a 35 year old Australian woman. I’m clean, friendly and social but also respect people’s need for down time. I like cozying up with a book, getting out and exploring, drawing/ being crafty and going to markets. I also love a games night and the occasional puzzle. I have a partner and he occassionally stays over for 1-2 nights a week, but likewise i'll often stay at his for a few days at a time.


I'm in between work currently, so spending most of my days at home whilst I job hunt.

PLEASE READ:
As I'm in between jobs currently, I'm seeking work across the UK. There is a chance that I may have to relocate cities within the next 1-3 months if I secure work elsewhere across the UK.

About the Flat:
It's a decent sized, older, top floor flat (only 2 small flights of stairs!) close to Leith links and about a 15 minute walk to a Tesco Superstore & Lidl. There is also a tram stop there.

It's a 2 bedroom flat, with one bathroom, a large living room and good sized kitchen. We also have a nice sized box storage cupboard. The flat over looks some lovely gardens.

IMPORTANT to note:
This flat was originally unfurnished (aside from the white goods), and the housemate that is moving out owns all of the furniture & decorations, so the flat will be open to decorating and furnishings.

Currently there will be a couch, a coffee table, a small dining table, some chairs for the table and kitchen things. (Note if I have to move I'll be taking the kitchen things with me).

The room available with be UNFURNISHED so you will need to sort a bed etc.

Monthly costs:
- Total property rent is £1100, so we will be splitting this 50/50. As such, we end up paying £550 pcm each.

- Wifi is around £17 a month each
- Council tax Band is Band C- so this works out to be roughly £160 pcm total (or £80 each pcm).
- Electricity is a prepaid smart meter- Both my current housemate and i top up equal amounts each month. In summer months it's usually around £49 ish each pcm and then in Winter months its usually around £98 ish each pcm.

So bills and rent come to around £745 pcm each in winter months or £696 pcm each in summer months.

Room will be available from the 10th July 2026, however if you need to bring some stuff over before then for storage then that should be okay. Potential tenant will have to go through real estate reference checks and be approved officially as you'll be on the lease agreement.

Happy to organise viewings of the flat.

Feel free to reach out with any questions, otherwise I look forward to meeting you!
