MOVING HOME
At some stage you may wish to move elsewhere, either to a
different size or type of home or to another location.
This section explains some options that may be open to you. If you need any
further advice or help, please contact us.
DEVON HOME CHOICE (DHC)
DHC is a regional choice based lettings
scheme which covers Devon. DHC is
used for the allocation of the majority of
social housing vacancies in Devon and is
run in partnership with local authorities
and other housing providers, including
Cornerstone. To move to an empty social
housing home you will need to apply to
DHC at www.devonhomechoice.com. If
you need help applying get in touch.
MUTUAL EXCHANGE
You may be able to mutually exchange or
‘swap’ homes with another Cornerstone
tenant or with a tenant from another
Registered Social Landlord or Council
(subject to certain conditions). To find an
exchange partner you can register with
www.houseexchange.org.uk Once you
have found a swap all parties will need to
apply to all landlords involved. The process
from application to a decision on the
exchange can take up to six weeks.
