LMac, the only thing that comes to mind is that allocation is usually done on a points basis and therefore if a house is coming free there may be others that will be much higher on the list. Hopefully they will see it as an easy job just to swap a couple of people around and just do it. Let us know how you get on since it is an interesting question for future reference.

  • Yes i have done it twice before, with no problems.
    You will out the form, they might come look around check everything is ok, ie not damaged.
    Then usually takes 2 weeks after that visit to have the ok.
    I don't think the points come into it when it is a straight transfer as long as both parties are happy.
    Good Luck!
