Find a Home
We offer a range of housing options designed for people aged 50 and over across Scotland. If you are under 50, it is unlikely you will be housed within our properties.
We have homes available for rent and on a shared ownership basis. You can find more information about our different types of housing and services here. Information about specific developments can be found here.
Applying
You can apply for housing online, via our customer portal, My Bield. Applying via My Bield is the quickest way to register your interest in our properties. The straightforward process ensures your application reaches our system immediately. Once submitted, your form will be checked by our staff and any required follow up action will be taken timeously. For additional information on My Bield, visit the My Bield section of this website. Helpful videos that will guide you through the application process are available on our YouTube channel. Please note that the application form may take a few minutes to load, and it may appear that nothing is happening whilst the form loads. We appreciate your patience with this step in the process.
We understand that digital forms are not for everyone. If you prefer, you can download our application form below. You can also request a paper application form by calling our Customer Contact Centre on 03000 132 162.
Our helpful guide to completing our application form can be found below, together with our development brochure. If you are applying online and would like to be considered for our Charleston development in Dundee, please refer to Page 4 of our development brochure, or the My Bield – Application Verification Documents video.
Please note, customers with an existing application DO NOT need to complete a new application form on My Bield. Details of the existing application will be visible when you log in to your My Bield account. If this is not the case, please email customerportal@bield.co.uk for assistance.

We do appreciate that circumstances can vary and, on occasion, we will look to explore possible alternative options to find a solution.
