Transfers for Existing V2C Tenants

Tenants may transfer from one V2C property to another. We will usually only do this if you have a good reason for needing to be re - housed, such as if your house is too big or too small for your household, or if you want to move to an area of low demand.

You might find it quicker to get a move by carrying out an exchange with another tenant. For more details click here to contact our Customer Service Centre.

You apply for a transfer in the same way you would apply for housing as a new applicant by either visiting our Customer Service Centre or by downloading an application form here and sending it back to us at the Customer Service Centre.

We are not able to help everyone who would like a housing transfer so please bear this in mind if you expect your household size to increase. We must make the best use of the properties we have to meet the needs of tenants and other applicants who are in the most urgent need of accommodation.

Before we can consider an application for a transfer:

	You must have a satisfactory rent record.
	After an inspection there must be no rechargeable repairs.
	You must not have done any unauthorised alterations to your home.
	There must be no evidence of nuisance caused at your current address.

What if I cannot meet these requirements but really do need to move house?

In exceptional circumstances we will consider allowing you to transfer, even if you do not meet the conditions above. Talk to your local Housing Officer about your circumstances and they will advise you.
