Private gardens are mainly a feature of Edinburgh's house-owning suburbs like Corstorphine, rather than the tenement flats that dominate Marchmont, Bruntsfield and Leith, where a shared back court is more typical than a private garden.
Communal back courts
Where a tenement does have a shared back court, significant landscaping work generally needs agreement from the other owners, since the space is common property under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004.
What drives the price for house gardens
Access without a side gate adds labour time. Mature trees near the historic core are sometimes protected, and Edinburgh's hillier streets can add retaining-wall costs a flat-plot quote won't reflect.
