Before putting pen to paper, it’s wise to conduct some research on the area you wish to purchase in, regardless if you’ve living in Craigmillar your whole life, as every street is different.
To get a feel for a Craigmillar house you’re looking to purchase, it’s recommended to spend a minimum of 30 minutes viewing.
Because of the high demand for housing in City of Edinburgh, viewing appointments may be limited. Schedule your Craigmillar house viewings when you’re well-slept and off work.
