About Edinburgh
Renting a room in Edinburgh
Homeshare lists rooms in house shares, flats and HMOs across Edinburgh from verified landlords and letting agents. New rooms are added as landlords and agents list them, so check back or search nearby if nothing suits today.
Marchmont, Newington and Bruntsfield are close to the University of Edinburgh and popular with students, while Leith and Stockbridge attract professionals. Rents in the Old Town and New Town are higher, with better value further out in Gorgie and Dalry.
Every listing shows the monthly rent, the move-in date and what is included. Enquire or book a viewing straight from the listing, then apply with your Tenant Passport so the landlord or agent sees a verified profile from the start.

Popular areas include Marchmont, Newington, Bruntsfield, Leith, Stockbridge, Gorgie and Dalry. Search a specific area or postcode to see rooms there, and use the radius filter to widen or narrow your results.

Homeshare is a really promising platform that makes the process of finding and managing property much simpler. The platform is easy to navigate, the features are well organised, and having everything in one place makes the overall experience much more convenient. I particularly like the focus on making the process more transparent and straightforward for both tenants and property owners. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into building the platform, and I’m excited to see how it continues to develop.
