Installing in Edinburgh: what to expect

Region

Edinburgh's housing includes Georgian and Victorian tenements in the New Town and Marchmont, sandstone semis in Morningside and Corstorphine, and modern developments in Leith and Granton. Tenement properties (flats) are particularly common.

Central Edinburgh has limited parking with extensive permit zones. Suburban areas like Corstorphine, Cramond, and South Queensferry have better off-street parking. Tenement properties may need creative cable routing solutions.

Edinburgh has a very high proportion of flat owners and renters due to the tenement housing stock. Many Edinburgh homeowners live in flats and are eligible for the OZEV grant.

What drives the cost

The £800–1,200 band on this page reflects Edinburgh's tenement-heavy housing stock. Installing in a tenement flat requires cable routes through communal close stairs or back greens, often adding 10–15 metres of armoured cabling and occasionally requiring sign-off from co-owners before work can begin. Sandstone semis in Morningside and Corstorphine typically sit at the lower end, where a straightforward driveway run stays close to the national average. Properties needing consumer unit upgrades, common in pre-war tenements, push toward the upper end.
