Edinburgh flat littered with rubbish goes on sale for under £70k

An Edinburgh flat where old shampoo bottles litter the bathroom floor and rubbish has been discarded in one of the rooms is on sale for less than £70,000.

The three-bed home in Pilton, four miles from the city centre, needs a lot of TLC after being dubbed a 'doer-upper'.

The walls are stripped in the kitchen where a bread bin has been abandoned, while the bathroom still has old shampoo bottles. Trash has been dumped on the floor in the large front room.

The bedrooms are all doubles and the ground-floor flat is on West Pilton Gardens. It is on sale at auction with a guide price of £69,500 upwards, and could rake in £13,000 in rent for a landlord.

Similar properties within this street sold for within the region of £120,000 - £127,0000 between November 2021 - June 2022.

The flat will be sold by Auction House Scotland's in-room auction taking place at 2pm on January 26 at the Radisson RED hotel, Glasgow.

Mandi Cooper, Managing Director of Auction House Scotland said: "With a competitive guide price and being within easy reach of Edinburgh city centre, this spacious flat offers an exciting opportunity for a buyer to add significant value, whether for resale, rental or occupation as a family home."
