You can get more for your money if you decide to move out of Edinburgh, and this flat in Haddington is great value as it has two bedrooms and a spacious kitchen and living room. There’s also an opportunity for developing the attic space.

Offers over £115,000
1 bed second floor flat with 1 public room

This flat is light and airy, and with interiors that wouldn’t require much work to make your own. I like the fireplace in the bedroom and the stripped floorboards throughout. It’s also a very short stroll to Musselburgh Harbour.
