'hebridean island in which i will occupy starter home?' is the definition.
'eigg' can be an answer for 'hebridean island' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.

'hebridean island in which i' is the wordplay.
'hebridean island' becomes 'egg' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in which' indicates putting letters inside.
'egg' going around 'i' is 'EIGG'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eigg that I've seen before include "land in sea" , "Hebridean island" , "Scottish island" , "Isle of Inner Hebrides" .)
