Room for change

The Edinburgh House Exchange website is a new service designed to bring together tenants looking to swap homes.

EdIndex is a partnership made up of 20 Edinburgh housing associations/co-ops and the Council. If you are a tenant of one of the landlords, you can register for free even if your tenancy is outside Edinburgh.

When you register you will be asked to provide some details, including your current property and the type of property you are looking for. Once registered, your information will be checked and approved by your landlord. Your login details will be sent out in the post and your property will appear in our database. From there, you can search the site and find someone to swap homes with.

Please note – you must be a Scottish secure tenant before your exchange request will be considered by your landlord.
