Moving home
If you are already a Broadacres tenant you may find that at some
point your circumstances may change and you may want to move to
other of our properties
If you need our help to find more suitable accommodation we can
help you in the following ways:
Transfers
You can apply for a move to another one of our properties . We
will give priority to tenants who need to move because of ;
- Overcrowding
- Medical reasons
- Accommodation being the wrong size
- Other circumstances
You can complete a transfer application
by clicking here.
Outside Hambleton District, we have a limited number if
properties and only a small turnover of vacancies. If you want to
move in these areas you should contact the local council and apply
to go on their waiting list. If you have priority they will be able
to put your name forward to other housing associations or for their
own properties.
Mutual exchanges
This is where you find another tenant to exchange homes with.
The tenant could be our tenant, another housing association’s
tenant or a council tenant.
You must have our written permission and that of any other
landlord before you move.
We will not be able to give you permission if the person who you
want to exchange with does not meet the financial eligibility
conditions of our lettings policy. Also some properties may have
restrictions on who can live in them, for example there may be a
planning condition that says only people with a local connection
can be offered the property. The other tenant would need to meet
this condition as well.
We may also refuse an exchange if:
- Legal action is being taken against either tenant for not
meeting the conditions of the tenancy
- The property will be too large or small for the new tenant;
or
- The property has special services or facilities which the new
tenant does not need.
If you are looking for a
mutual exchange you can register your details by completing this
form.
Your details will then be added to our mutual exchange database.
This database will include details of all the tenants who have
registered for this service and you will be able to search for the
type of property and areas that you want.
