If you want to move to another local authority home, you can register on the transfer list. In order to qualify for the transfer list, you must usually have lived in your home for a minimum period of years, you must not have any rent arrears and your home must be in good condition.
You can arrange a private transfer by finding someone who wants to swap his/her home with yours. This must not result in any overcrowding and the local authority must give its permission.
You can also arrange a private transfer with someone from a different authority or even between Great Britain and Ireland as long as the accommodation is suitable and the local authorities agree.
Contact the Housing Department of your local authority for more information.
