Other options for moving to a new home

If you don't want to sign up for the mutual exchange scheme, there are a few other options you can consider.

Intra-estate transfer

There are schemes for tenants to move within their current estate run on the Barnfield and Walpole Estates and at River Heights tower block on the Glyndon estate.

All flats and maisonettes (houses are not included) 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 to the estate. This helps tenants who need a larger or smaller property or a lower or higher floor height.

Contact the Access and Allocations Service for more information.
