Introduction

This Guide to Housing Options in Highland brings together a wide range of information about possible housing solutions for people already living or working in the area, or for those who wish to do so. It has been developed to help people find the best housing solution for them. It is also a reference tool for Highland Council Staff and other organisations, to help them provide the highest quality information and advice to anyone looking for an answer to a housing problem in the Highlands.

The Guide aims to cover a wide range of potential housing situations; from those who find themselves without a home, for whatever reason, to those who wish to rent in the public and private sectors, or those who occupy or want to buy or build their own home. The information contained in this guide is intended to be of practical value. The message to everyone using it, whatever their situation, is to seek expert advice and consult the appropriate services or agencies listed before committing themselves to any particular course of action.

Paper copies of the Guide are also available in Highland Council Housing Offices, Service Points and libraries.

If you are giving advice to someone, you may find it useful to give them copies of relevant chapters which they can then refer to later
