Make money for moving home

Make money for moving home - A2 residents

We offer a ‘cash for downsizing’ scheme in partnership with A2Dominion Housing Association which could benefit you if you are an existing A2Dominion resident and live in this Borough.

If you are living in a property with two or more bedrooms and are willing to move into a one bedroom home within the same area we will give you £1,000 for each bedroom that you release. We will pay you half of the amount and A2Dominion will pay the other half.

As well as the cash that you will receive for taking part in this scheme we will also reimburse you up to £500 for removal costs and provide you with a ‘man with a van’ who will dispose of any unwanted furniture or belongings that you no longer need. We will also consider any aids and adaptations that you may need at the new property.

Long-term benefits of this scheme could include a reduction in your utility costs (gas and electricity) and Council Tax as well as the possibility of moving to a better location. This scheme will also increase the number of larger homes which will go a long way to help with the shortage of affordable, family-sized properties in the Borough.
