What apartments are currently available for booking in Edinburgh for the fall of 2023?
1. Social Housing Options 🏠
1. Currently, there are relatively few housing options in Edinburgh. Zoopla has a limited number of listings from individual landlords and UK agents that can be booked. The downside is the limited availability of listings and slower communication with agents based in China.
2. Hanlen will be opening an apartment building in Edinburgh at the end of this month. They offer 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments. They provide all-inclusive bills and can communicate in Chinese, which may result in higher efficiency. If you haven't found a 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom apartment yet, you can keep an eye on their listings around the 20th of this month.
2. Student Apartments 🏠
1. Vite's Fountainbridge apartments offer ample housing options. They have excellent amenities and a convenient location, but the prices are relatively high.
2. The Mont is a new building that offers ensuite and studio apartments. The facilities are modern, and it is within walking distance to the GS campus. The downside is that the lease starts on the 23rd, which is a bit far from the start of classes on the 11th.
3. IQ Grove apartments only offer ensuite rooms. Currently, they have limited availability with only one basic ensuite room. It is suitable for students from the GS Art School and those who can commute to and from the Heriot-Watt University via public transportation.
4. PC Home apartments near the Art School currently have studio apartments available. They have a few rooms that were not rented out in August. However, the availability is limited.
5. For students near Moray, you can consider booking an apartment in Straits Meadows. They currently have five studios available for around £200, which might be a good deal. The downside is that it is a bit far from the city center.
6. Huxley Studios is an apartment building located in the eastern part of Edinburgh, suitable for students from Moray and those attending GS via public transportation. The downside is that the prices in this area are relatively high compared to neighboring Straits Meadows, where the prices start at £270, while Huxley Studios start at £370.
