Applying for a transfer

To apply for a transfer, you will have to apply for admission to the transfer list.

The transfer list is a waiting list is for people who are already Council tenants who wish to move to an alternative property.

Who can join the transfer list?

Any Council tenant can apply for a transfer to an alternative property.

We will consider each application for a transfer but you may not be admitted to the transfer list if you have seriously breached your Tenancy Agreement e.g. you have been found guilty of unacceptable conduct such as anti-social behaviour or your rent account is in arrears.

We have also operated a Transfer Incentive Scheme since 1990. If tenants are under-occupying their present home, they are entitled to receive a grant to move to transfer to an alternative property. 

Can I appeal against a decision not to be admitted to the transfer list?

Yes. If you are considered ineligible for admission to the transfer list, we will write to you, confirm our decision, explain the reasons for our decision and explain the procedures for having our decision reviewed.

How do I apply for admission to the transfer list?

You will need to submit a new application on our HomeChoice site.

If there are any medical or disability conditions which you wish to be considered, please also complete a Medical Assessment Form [pdf] 601KB
