Property Oracle says ..
Leith Walk is a vibrant and up-and-coming area of Edinburgh. The property’s proximity to Edinburgh city centre and its transport links are positive aspects. However, the absence of nearby schools in the immediate vicinity might be a drawback for families. More information on the quality of local schools would be needed for a complete assessment.
The property itself appears to be in need of significant modernisation and renovation. The flooring, walls, and kitchen require attention. The condition of the bathroom is also questionable based on the images. A full survey would be needed to ascertain the extent of the work required.
The plot size is relatively small for a property in Edinburgh, suggesting limited outdoor space. The lack of a garden is a notable feature.
Considering the list price of £195,000, the average price per square foot in the area is £346. This property is significantly below average in size, at 530.88 sqft. While the price is lower than the area average, the extensive renovation needed significantly impacts its value. A comparative market analysis of similarly sized and conditioned flats in the area would be necessary to determine whether the list price is reasonable. The lack of comparable properties in the provided data limits the accuracy of this assessment.
Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
