Money for council tenants moving into a smaller property
We offer a financial incentive for council tenants moving into smaller accommodation. If you do downsize, you keep the same type of tenancy as you currently have.
The following groups are excluded:
- succession cases
- management transfer cases
- left in occupation cases
- downsizing through fixed term tenancy cases
How much do you get?
The amount we give depends on how many bedrooms you have downsized by.
- £1,000 is offered for the first bedroom you give up, and £500 for every extra bedroom given up thereafter
- Up to £500 is also given towards the cost of moving home
