Overcrowded
If you need a larger home, you are likely to wait a long time for rehousing through Locata. We can help you by:
- Helping you to register for a mutual exchange and look for someone to swap with
- Providing advice and helping with registration if you would like to move out of London using the Homefinder Scheme, which can help you move to another part of the country where demand is lower.
- If you are statutorily overcrowded, have been registered on Locata for some time and have tried all other possible options, but have been unable to move, it may be possible to assess whether your home would be suitable for a loft conversion or an extension.
- If you are living with family members who are over 60 years old we can help find them their own accommodation. This should help free up some space in your current home.
