Sometimes it’s good to move. Whether your household out-grows your family home, you want to be nearer your workplace, or you simply fancy a change of scene!
Transfers
A transfer involves giving up your existing home and moving to a new one. It usually involves registering your interest and then waiting until your application rises to the top of the list. Please check the terms and conditions.
To find out if an area you are interested in has a transfer waiting list, check our listings by local authority area. Contact the local office and ask for a transfer application form.
Exchanges
An exchange is different to a transfer because it is a voluntary arrangement between two households to swap homes. It’s easy once you’ve found a willing household with a home that fits the bill! Contact the local office to find out more.
Terms and conditions
Some basic terms and conditions apply to transfer and exchanges. Applicants should:
- Be a Guinness tenant (no Starter or Assured Shorthold tenancies)
- Have a clear rent account
- Have kept to the terms of your tenancy agreement
- To see the full set of terms and conditions contact your local office
