Alternative Accommodation in Edinburgh
Temporary alternative accommodation in Edinburgh for policyholders displaced from their homes, arranged for insurers, loss adjusters, claims handlers and accommodation providers.
Placements that fit life in Edinburgh.
When a household in Edinburgh is displaced by fire, flood or escape of water, the accommodation has to fit real life: school runs, work travel, pets and the number of people in the household. We look for family-suitable property near the insured address wherever availability allows, keep the same contact through the placement, and extend the stay alongside reinstatement works where that is agreed. Invoicing goes to the insurer, loss adjuster or accommodation provider rather than the household where that is agreed in advance.
Where a household in Edinburgh has pets or children at school, our guide to placements involving pets and school runs.
- Family-suitable homes rather than hotel rooms, subject to availability
- Placement matched to schools, commute, pets and household size
- Extensions arranged alongside reinstatement works where agreed
- Direct invoicing to the insurer, adjuster or accommodation provider
- UK-based contact throughout the placement
Sourcing in and around Edinburgh.
Where we look
City centre and Leith for walkable stays, with Sighthill, Corstorphine, Livingston and Musselburgh where parking is more workable.
Getting around
M8, M9 and A720 city bypass; Waverley and Haymarket stations, trams and Edinburgh Airport.
What to expect locally
Availability tightens sharply around the summer festival period and major events, so we advise booking earlier for those windows.
Property type, parking and stay length are confirmed in writing for each property put forward, subject to availability and the agreed booking terms.
Wider coverage
Although this page focuses on Edinburgh, MJ3 Relocations arranges insurance alternative accommodation across the UK. We source property against each instruction rather than holding stock in every location, so what can be offered depends on availability at the time. Decisions on policy coverage, claim validity and payment sit with the insurer or loss adjuster, not with us.

Edinburgh questions.
Can you arrange insurance alternative accommodation in Edinburgh?
Yes. We source in Edinburgh and the wider Scotland area, and we arrange insurance alternative accommodation across the UK. Property is put forward subject to availability at the time of the instruction; the insurer or loss adjuster decides what the policy covers.
Which areas around Edinburgh can be considered for a placement?
City centre and Leith for walkable stays, with Sighthill, Corstorphine, Livingston and Musselburgh where parking is more workable. Where nothing suitable is available close to the insured address, we look slightly wider along the routes the household already uses. Availability tightens sharply around the summer festival period and major events, so we advise booking earlier for those windows.
Can a placement in Edinburgh take account of pets, children, parking or accessibility?
These are the details we ask for at the start: household size, pets, schools and nurseries, commuting, vehicles and any accessibility needs. M8, M9 and A720 city bypass; Waverley and Haymarket stations, trams and Edinburgh Airport. Each requirement is confirmed in writing per property rather than assumed, and if the household's needs change during the stay we look again.
