3 bed second floor flat for sale in West End

Property highlight: Excellent development opportunity - 3 bedroom 2nd floor flat

An excellent development opportunity A rarely available and expansive 2nd floor property, extending to 1991 square feet, located in Edinburgh's West End. The property has recently been utilised by an office space but offers considerable potential to convert to residential accommodation. Planning permission has been granted for change of use - 18/01756/FUL. City of Edinburgh Council have also confirmed that Listed Building Consent is not required for the conversion, as set out in submitted plans. As the property is currently a commercial property with planning consent for change of use back to residential and the current owners have waived their exemption to charge VAT on the property, VAT at 20% is payable on the price but the VAT should be recoverable by any VAT registered business. Purchasers should seek their own tax advice on this matter image credit - Bergmark Architects Ltd.
