Apply for a home or transfer
Ready to move?
If you are currently renting a home from Affinity Sutton and
would like to apply to move to a different home, there are a number
of ways you can do this.
Transfer
If you would like to move to another home in
the same borough you may be able to apply for a housing transfer.
If you apply for a housing transfer, your application will be
assessed in line with our lettings policy. You will then be placed
into one of two bands depending on your housing need and how
urgently you need to move.

Mutual exchange
If you want to move to a different sized property or to a
different area outside your borough, you can effectively swap your
home with someone else using the Mutual Exchange Scheme.
It is open to all Council and housing association tenants who
are part of the Mutual Exchange Scheme. All landlords must agree
before an exchange can go ahead.
