The Homes for D&G Policy:
We have housing for various needs. These include amenity houses and adapted homes for wheelchairs and those with mobility problems. If you feel you need this type of home, you should apply using the transfer system above. We may ask for community-care assessments from social services but will include you in this activity and get your permission.
A mutual exchange is when two or more tenants want to swap their houses. You may swap with one of our tenants, a tenant of another housing association or a tenant of a local power. You can apply for a mutual exchange if you find a suitable person to swap with. We will take care of your application within 28 days. You will be kept updated on how the application is progressing throughout. Any swap must meet the needs of our allocation policy, or the North Ayrshire Housing Register and any landlord’s policy. If the mutual swap is agreed, we will set a moving in date. You will sign your tenancy agreement with the landlord and the arrange move with the other people.
Checks must be carried out on your property and you cannot swap until you have our permission. We do not become involved in exchanging keys. You agree to accept the property in the condition at the time you make the swap. A mutual swap will end your current tenancy. You will start a new tenancy in the property you move to.
If you have found someone to swap with use the form below (one for each of you):
