Checking the condition of your home

Moving out?

If you have an assured, secure or fixed term tenancy and have applied to transfer to another SNG property, we’ll inspect your property after we receive your application. 

If you’re leaving SNG or applying for an exchange, we’ll either arrange an inspection or ask you to send in some photos and information about your property.

If you're a private market rent customer and have an assured shorthold tenancy, please visit our dedicated page on moving out.

Getting ready for your inspection

You’ll need to make sure that we can easily view all rooms and walls. Please take down posters and pictures and move large furniture away from the wall where possible. 

Before the inspection, it’s a good idea to have a look at whether your home meets our agreed standard and, if needed, spend some time putting things right. 

We expect that there will have been normal wear and tear during your tenancy, but we won't be able to agree a transfer or an exchange if the property’s not in a good condition. 

Please note: If you’ve given notice on your SNG tenancy, we’ll normally need to recharge you for any works that are your responsibility. This may also include issues that weren’t evident at the inspection. 

We may also need to recharge you for any exceptional cleaning to put things right, so please leave your home completely empty, thoroughly cleaned, and free of any personal belongings when you move out.
