Moving to a smaller home

Housing needs can change at different times in our life and there are now a number of options for swapping your home.

Some families find that as children grow up and move out, they are left with a bigger house than they need. Downsizing to a smaller property can save money on rent, council tax, gas and electricity bills. As an added incentive we can provide financial help for our residents who choose to move to a smaller property. These incentives can include:

• Up to £500 for the first bedroom you give up and £1,000 for other bedrooms
• Help to pay for your moving costs
• Home improvement vouchers for your new home

To find out about these incenitves and about moving to a smaller home which is right for your needs, please contact our Lettings Team on 0845 600 0830 or email lettingsteam@east-thames.co.uk.
