Thinking of Moving

If you are already a tenant of the Association and you want to move to another house, then you can apply for a transfer at any time. Please phone our customer service team to discuss this on 0141 550 5600 choosing option 3. 

Alternatively you can email us at customer.service@westscot.co.uk

Please provide the following information:

• who is currently in your household? Please provide names, ages and sex
• why you are looking to move?
• where you would be looking to move to?

How are Applications for Transfer Assessed?

Your application for transfer will be awarded a band based on the circumstances in your home. You can read more about how we band here.

Your application for transfer will be placed on the list for the areas you have requested. If two or more tenants have the same band we will give priority to the person who applied first. We keep applications for transfer on a separate list from applications from people who are applying to go on our direct waiting list. This means that your application for transfer will be assessed against other tenants in similar circumstances.

Please note that if you are in rent arrears, owe any other money to the Association or have a poor tenancy record you will not normally be offered another house until those things are sorted out or you are maintaining an arrangement to repay.

It is important to note that only a small number of homes will be offered to transfer applicants so it may be some time before we can make an offer of housing.
