Welcome to homehunt® Castle Rock Edinvar.
We aim to make the process of choosing a new home as simple as possible for you. To help you to do this, we advertise our vacant properties so you have the opportunity to choose and bid for the home you want.
To make sure we operate in a fair way, we have Priority Passes in place to take account of your housing needs and we apply rules to help us decide who should get the first offer of a property.
Our Guide to homehunt Castle Rock Edinvar explains how homehunt works and how you apply for the properties we advertise. This applies to both new applicants and existing tenants who wish to transfer.
We wish you every success in finding a new home.

Registering
You need to register with us
before you can apply for a house - but registration is a very quick and easy process.
All we need is your name, address and date of birth, and the names and dates of birth of everyone who will move with you, and we ask you to sign a few simple statements to confirm that you are eligible for housing under our scheme.
Registration is completed 'whilst you wait' at our Edinburgh office (or you can apply by post, telephone, or online, although these methods will take longer as we will post out a short form for you to sign and return).
As a registered homehunter, you will receive a guide to homehunt® which will include information about how to apply for advertised houses.

Applying
Once registered you can apply for any property that is advertised (as long as the property is suitable - e.g. it would not result in overcrowding, or there are no restrictions on who can apply stated in the advertisement - for example, ground floor flats for those of retirement age and above).
When you see an advert for a property you are interested in, you should apply for it by telling us your registration number and the property's address. You can do this in person at our Edinburgh office, or by phone, by post, or online - but you must do this before the closing date and time specified in the advert. If you have a Priority Pass , it will be recognised automatically.
You can apply for as many advertised properties as you wish at any one time. However, if you qualify for more than one offer at the same time, we will assume that the property you apply for first is your first choice, and so on, in the order you chose to apply. If you qualify for an offer on one house, we will disregard any later applications you have made, so the order in which you apply could be very important to you.
Similarly, if there is nothing you like advertised, or perhaps it is not a convenient time to move, there is no need to apply. All we ask is that you confirm once a year that you wish to remain Registered with us for housing.
