It is fully furnished and decorated to a high standard, with 2 double rooms to

(Possibly 28th))
Room 2 is significantly smaller than main bedroom. This is a compact double
bedroom with over bed storage to maximise the utility of the room. It is most
suitable for single person on a longer term, but a working couple could share
for sleeping only. The vacating tenant is an it Professional. The room
currently has a single bed but this can be swapped out for a double bed and
mattress. With a double bed there will not be room for a workstation inside
the room, unless a side table or laptop table is used. Alternative
arrangements can be discussed if a work station is needed. The current rental
assessment for the flat, unfurnished and excluding bills and council tax, is
around £1540pcm. The room and flat is furnished to a high standard for rental
accommodation. £625 for a single person £665 for a couple plus Council Tax and

Alternative Rooms available below.
**Tenant suitability
**
I am looking for working tenants and will accept a working person on Universal
Credit. This property is not registered as an HMO and under those rules,
tenancies are restricted to the maximum of 2 families living in the property.
A cohabiting couple counts as 1 family unit, as would siblings. The room can
be rented on a minimum of 1 month at a premium rate otherwise, minimum 3 month
let and 6 contract. This can be renewed or extended provided the tenancy is
going well. For those on Universal Credit please see Tenant Suitability (not
dependent on room rental).
**Communal facilities
**
A basic TV has been provided in the communal living area, but set up with a
mini pc for streaming only. A no live TV Licence declaration has been filed.
If the new tenants want to watch live TV, then they will need to pay for a TV
Licence. The broadband package is more. Than sufficient for home working and
live streaming and is currently with BT. BT superfast broadband is currently
installed and under contract. Neither Sky or Virgin was available. BT was
selected so that a TV package could be added, if required. Incoming tenants
can decide on how to upgrade the package at their own cost. Current cost is
approx. £32 pcm, utilities are dependant on usage.
The Living Area is a modern open plan living space with fully fitted kitchen,
including dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle basic dishes etc. Table and
chairs are in the kitchen area for dining, 2 additional wooden folding chairs
have been provided for guests. Living area has two sofas, coordinating side
tables, modern neutral decor. The flat is well coordinated in terms of
furnishings. The living area has large patio doors that open on to a 2nd floor
balcony. There is a small bistro table and 2 chairs provided, leaving areas
for more chairs if required. A Washer Dryer is in the small utility cupboard
in the hall along with ironing board and iron. Bathroom has shower over bath
and will be shared with occupant of the other room.
Council Tax is Band D and bills are to be split between occupants, per head. A
portion of council Tax, as determined by council. This will also include
utilities, Broadband, TV and licence as noted. As a Landlord I reserve the
right to appoint a cleaner and bill tenants for cleaning should tenants fail
to keep up with cleaning of the communal areas. The flat will be subject to
regular inspection with some aspects of ongoing maintenance.
Room for let will be available from around 7 November 23. The initial tenancy
will be for minimum of 3 months, signed to 6 months and this can be extended
at the end of the 6 month period provided tenancy is going well. I am looking
for a tenancy between 6 and 12 months.
**Viewing and vetting
**
Initial viewing will be done by myself. Any incoming tenant would need to meet
the sitting tenant and vetting will include references and a professional
credit check.
For anyone on Universal Credit, I am looking for a Carer and can offer Carers
Allowance which also entitles the recipient to all elements of Universal
Credit along with the opportunity to work in paid employment for up to 12
hours per week or part time study. The monthly income is also higher than the
basic Universal Credit rate. It also attracts another top up payment from the
Scottish Government, no need to keep attending the Job Centre. Note everyone's
care needs are not the same, please do not pre judge the duties needed. The
room rental is not dependent on taking the role of carer. Any appointment
would be on an initial trial and I would be keen to support someone getting
back into paid employment or further education. This may be most suitable for
a young adult or a single parent. Room rental and care duties are not
dependent on each other. I have alternative accommodation available or not.
Main Bedroom (Currently Let by Single Working Female working from home)
This is a very spacious extra large double bedroom with double fitted
wardrobes in an entrance passageway inside the room. The Room has double bed
with bedside units and larger chest of drawers. There is also a sitting area
with two chairs and nest of tables, even with this, there is enough space for
a workstation for study if occupant wants to provide this. The room has
recently been decorated with new carpet, curtains, most furnishings are approx
1 year old. A new carpet and doors have been fitted on the fitted large
double, double wardrobes, with hanging rails and shelf for storage. Current
Rental Assessment for flat is around £1500 pcm, not including bills and
furnishings.
**Alternative rooms available in other property
**
I have alternative accommodation available, 2 double rooms within a two bed
flat, but this is not suitable for professional tenants due to the area. It
would suit students, and those working and on Universal Credit. One main
double room will be available for entry in the next week or so for a rental of
between £750 and £800 pcm, with the smaller double available in the following
weeks depending on my work load.
I also need a carer who would get the dwp Carers Allowance that would entitle
them to full Housing Support and Council Tax Exemption; allow them to work up
to 12 hours in paid employment or study part time. Care duties would be
support in the home and dealing with communication, meal preparation and other
duties. I am a veteran with Complex ptsd and Chronic Pain.
I have potentially 2 rooms available in another flat from Mid January onwards.
Work is ongoing in that property so there will be a concessionary rate and a
choice of renting one or 2 rooms within that property. It is currently
occupied by 2 international students and is fully furnished for and suitable
short term rental.
