How to move to a different property
If you’d like to move into a different property, you can swap homes with another tenant through mutual exchange or housing transfer.
What are my options?
There are lots of reasons you might like to move to a different home. You might want to downsize to a more manageable home, get more room for a growing family, or live in a different area.
There are two main ways housing association tenants usually move into a different property: mutual exchange and transfers. Find out more about these below.
What is a mutual exchange?

What is rightsizing?
Rightsizing means moving to a home that is the right size for you and your lifestyle. If your current home has more space than you need, moving to a smaller property could help make managing your home easier, reduce running costs, and better meet your needs now and in the future.
