Transfers and mutual exchanges

Transfer

If you are an existing council or housing association tenant and want to move to another council property in 含羞草社区, you will need to join the housing register.

Exchange

If you are an existing council or housing association tenant, you may be able to swap your home with another council or housing association tenant by mutual exchange.

Downsize

We run an incentive scheme that helps council tenants who are looking to downsize from their existing home.

If you are interested in downsizing your council home contact your Housing Officer.

HomeSwapper

This website helps tenants find swap partners. Council tenants can register for free and once we have approved your application, you will be able to access information on HomeSwapper about tenants from 含羞草社区 and across the UK who wish to exchange properties.

For help using the HomeSwapper service, contact directly.

Contact your housing officer

Your housing officer can give you more information about mutual exchanges, including how an exchange may affect your tenancy rights, if your swap partner has a different tenancy type to the one you have.

To apply for a mutual exchange all tenants involved will need to complete a permission for mutual exchange application form. 

Refused applications

Not all applications can be approved. If your application is declined your Housing Officer will explain why.
