Downsizing
We support residents who want to move to a smaller property
This helps ensure people have homes suitable to their needs and provides larger family homes to families on our waiting list. Council tenants who want to ‘downsize’ are given one of the highest priorities on the housing register and we offer personalised support.
What are the advantages of moving to a smaller home?
- Financial Savings: Enjoy lower rent and utility bills, freeing up more of your income
- Easier Maintenance: A smaller home means less time spent on upkeep and more time for yourself.
- Community Living: Move into a vibrant community with like-minded neighbours and make new friends.
- Supportive Services: Access to tailored support services to help you settle in and feel at home.
