Looking to fill my old flatmate's room who is leaving to buy his own place. It's a beautiful Scottish flat with lots of space, a well-kept garden, lovely neighbours, and right across the Meadows in Marchmont.
I'm doing a PhD at Edinburgh University in Maths and Computer Science. I usually work from home in the mornings, and head into the office in the afternoon. I have lots of hobbies - basketball, climbing, hiking, travel, cooking, woodworking, whatever other phase I'm in. I'm often busy but do like to live communally: occasional dinners together, evenings watching tv, out for a drink, etc. Shamefully tooting my own horn here but likely relevant - I am an extremely easy flatmate. I keep things tidy, never have crazy afters, sleep with earplugs (lol), have no time for drama, can receive communication directly, and am very understanding. Looking for someone who is likeminded and easy to live with too.
Some logistics:
- We know the landlords personally. Hence the well priced rent (relative for the flat). They are very responsive and plan to rent for the next 2-3 years.
- Rent is split equally among us. My room is the smaller one (second in the photos). Happy to stay here but open to swapping.
- Official joint tenancy agreement (not a sublet). You'll need a guarantor, proof of income, and a new deposit.
- Council tax band E. Ideally looking for another student so we're fully exempt - otherwise I only get a 50% discount on my share.
