Transfer
A transfer is when you move to another home owned by us. Our policy on transfers varies, for more information on how to apply for a transfer in your area please contact
Hastoe Direct on 0300 123 2250.
Mutual exchange
A mutual exchange is when two or more tenants, housing association or local authority, swap homes by legally assigning their tenancies to each other. This means that you pass on your tenancy to the person moving into your home and take over their tenancy for their home.
We have registered with
www.HomeSwapper.co.uk which is free for you to use to help you find people to swap with. Most local authorities and housing associations keep an exchange list that can be viewed at their office. There are other websites available but many charge for this service.
For more details please read the "Moving on" section of the handbook - you can open or save the file in the relevant documents section of this page
PLEASE NOTE: Many of our rural properties have a Section 106 planning restriction on them which means the person you wish to exchange with would need a connection to the village or surrounding area. Hastoe Direct will be able to tell you if this applies to your rural property if you are unsure. Permission will only be given if your exchange partner meets the requirement of the Section 106.
