FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How many student housing listings are available in Edinburgh?+

How much does student housing cost in Edinburgh?+

How quickly can I find a room in Edinburgh?+
Socials members in Edinburgh typically see their first batch of matches within minutes of signing up. The majority of users book a room within three to four weeks. It is faster in lower demand months and slower during the August and February rushes when every british city gets an intake wave.
Do I need a guarantor to rent in Edinburgh?+
Rental requirements vary by landlord in Edinburgh. Most ask for proof of student enrolment, one or two months' deposit, and a recent income source or guarantor. International students without local income are usually asked for a guarantor or a few months' rent up front. Every Socials listing shows the landlord's requirements before you apply.
Are Socials listings in Edinburgh verified?+
Every listing comes from a public housing platform we scan in real time, with no anonymous sellers. We filter out obvious scam patterns automatically (duplicate photos, unrealistic prices, payment before viewing requests) and surface the remaining listings with full landlord details so you can verify before applying.
