EdIndex
Providing a single access point to social housing throughout the City
Important: Please read
We will be carrying out essential work on the Key to Choice website next weekend from the evening of Friday 3rd until the evening of Sunday 5th December 2021.
Unfortunately that website will not be available at times over the weekend while this work is carried out.
The day of the week you place your bids does not make a difference as to where applicants are placed on any list for homes, so if you are not able to access the website over the weekend or it is running slow please try later in the week. Bids can be placed up until 3pm on Friday 10th December.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you. Thank you for your patience.
EdIndex is a partnership between the Council and 18 housing associations/co-operatives in Edinburgh. You only need to complete one application to apply for houses provided by the landlords.
17 landlords let their homes through Key to Choice.
Hanover Scotland Housing and Muirhouse Housing Association let their homes through a traditional points system and will contact you directly if a suitable home becomes available.
There is a high demand for social rented housing in Edinburgh so it can take a while to be housed through EdIndex. You can view details of where houses became available and the demand for them using the supply and demand tool. You can also check out the other affordable housing options in Edinburgh.
