Property in Edinburgh
Much of Edinburgh's housing is historic: medieval and Victorian tenements in the Old Town and Marchmont, Georgian terraces in the New Town and many listed buildings where repairs need extra care. Shared stairs and roofs mean one problem often affects several owners.
Wind off the Firth of Forth and a cool, damp climate test roofs, chimneys and old sash windows. Frozen pipes in unheated common stairs and water ingress through stonework are familiar winter calls.
Students, professionals and families compete for rented homes in Edinburgh, where the City of Edinburgh Council oversees the market and landlords must meet Scotland's repairing standard. Fast, recorded emergency repairs help protect tenants and listed fabric alike.
