Moving within Independent Living Accommodation

Mutual exchange

If you’re thinking about moving, you can apply for a mutual exchange to swap your home with another resident — either into or out of independent living accommodation.

Each request includes an assessment to make sure the property is suitable for your needs.

Transfer

You can also ask to move to a different independent living property through a transfer request. We’ll complete an up-to-date assessment to confirm that the new home is right for you.

All mutual exchange and transfer requests are considered in line with our Local Lettings Policy for Specialist Accommodation (Older People) and the Housing Allocation Scheme, so that every move is handled fairly and consistently.
