Social Housing
What is social housing?
We are a Registered Social Landlord (RSL) which means we can provide affordable social housing in Leith and north Edinburgh. Our homes cost less to rent than private rented properties and anyone over the age of 16 can apply to rent with us. We have award winning developments stretching from Granton to Portobello!

Our homes are advertised on Key to Choice alongside other council and housing association properties available in Edinburgh.
