Affordable Housing In Edinburgh

The provision of affordable housing is a primary objective for local authorities within the Edinburgh City Region.  In 2007 the Scottish Government allocated Communities Scotland £48m to enable housing associations to purchase sites for affordable housing.

There are certain areas of the city region in which there is only a limited stock of affordable housing. However, the shortage of affordable homes is less pronounced than in areas of England and Wales.

If you are willing to commute, then there is a wider choice of options, both in terms of price and type of housing.  The Lothians offer a comprehensive selection of affordable properties in a variety of rural and urban environments.
