THE most expensive apartment in the Scottish capital is now available to rent.
The £1.7 million penthouse within Edinburgh’s Unesco World Heritage Site will be priced at upwards of £5000 per month.
The three-bedroom apartment at The Crescent by CALA Homes overlooks the iconic Donaldson’s School, close to Haymarket in the west of the city.
Property investment, letting and management specialist Tay Letting is managing the property after launching its Edinburgh operations just last year. The firm – which already has more than £32m worth of properties under management – says it is a “significant appointment”.
The agency has also invested more than £10m in Edinburgh properties on behalf of members of its Buyers Club – a one-stop shop for residential investment which highlights investment opportunities, undertakes the acquisition, completes the renovation, lets and then manages the property to deliver returns for the client.

Malcolm Pickard, Tay Letting East director, said: “Being appointed on what could be Edinburgh’s most sought-after apartment demonstrates Tay’s growing reputation in the capital. The Crescent is an iconic development and we’re excited to market a number of these special properties.
“We don’t have aspirations of being the biggest letting agency in Edinburgh, but we do intend to be the best.
“We offer landlords a personalised service. Every landlord has my number and can call me morning, noon or night. That’s why word of mouth and Buyers’ Club investment continue to be our biggest growth drivers.”

Philip Hogg, sales and marketing director with CALA Homes (East), said: “The Crescent is unlike anything else currently on offer in the capital – so this is a really exciting opportunity for those looking to make a move.
“The penthouse will make an exceptional home in an outstanding location.”
The spacious rental apartment boasts lift access, two private balconies, three en-suite bedrooms, spacious living areas and original artwork. The 84 residences sits in 18 acres of gardens just a mile from Princes Street.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
