Moving Home
Find out your options for downsizing and swapping your home or moving to sheltered housing.
Home Swap
The Council uses the Home Swap scheme to enable tenants to live in accommodation more in line with their housing needs. It is a good way of making sure that those tenants living in overcrowded accommodation can exchange with those who are under occupying. The Home Swap Scheme is also a good way of allowing those tenants who are affected by the Bed Room Tax to downsize. If you are interested in exchanging your home then please contact your Housing Management Officer at Affinity.
