Step 1 – Register with Edindex

If you want to be considered, first you need to be registered with Edindex. This involves completing an Edindex application form. Prospect have forms available at our office, or you can get one from any Council or Housing Association office.

Once you have received your registration number you can start bidding.

Step 2 – Bid for available properties

Details of vacancies are advertised in the Key to Choice http://keytochoice.scotsman.com website where you can also submit your bids online. Prospect have a computer in reception which can be used by applicants wanting to place bids – staff are available to assist if required.

Vacancies will be also be advertised in Monday's Evening News and a free supplement that is available at local council and Edindex partner offices (including Prospect).

You need to find out if you are in the starter or mover category, as this will let you know what properties you can bid for. Information on these categories can be found on the Key to Choice website or in the Evening News. Before making bids, please read the advert carefully to make sure that you are eligible for the vacancy.

Bids must be received by 3.30pm each Friday.

 

 

Step 3 – Outcome

Prospect staff will contact you if your bid has been successful. This will normally be towards the end of the week following the closing date for bids. Due to the number of bids that we get for each property, we are unable to contact those who have not been successful.
