Other options for moving to a new home

If the mutual exchange scheme is not right for you, there are other options you can consider.

Options for intra-estate transfer

We run intra-estate transfer schemes on some of our housing estates.  

You can apply for an intra-estate transfer if you live:

  • on the Barnfield Estate
  • on the Walpole Estate
  • in the River Heights tower block on the Glyndon Estate

All flats and maisonettes that become vacant on the estate can be offered to tenants living on the same estate if there are no priority applicants wanting to move there. Houses are not included in the scheme.

This helps tenants who need a larger or smaller property or a lower or higher floor height.

Options for people aged 55 and over

If you're 60 or over and you would like support to continue to live independently, you could apply for sheltered housing.

If you're 55 or over, you could retire to the coast or countryside.
