Giving Notice after a mutual exchange

I think that's what he expects us to tell him!!How can anyone answer the question without knowing the terms of your tenancy, the terms of exchange, the policy of the housing provider etc?
You may as well ask for this week's lottery numbers.
So first things first, what is the policy on minimum term post exchange?

Well, at least we are responding, and despite what you seem to think, we are all responding positively by asking for details without which we can't give you the answer you seek.benjihubbs wrote: »Thanks for the very warm welcome to the forums!!

If we all took that literally, you would receive no replies at all. Zilch. Since it is impossible to 'answer your question' based on the information you have provided.With respect, if you can't answer my question, please desist in commenting unhelpfully....
For myself, I'm perfectly willing to help you. But only if you answer the questions I and others have asked, otherwise, like Comms69, I'd have to just pick a number out of the air!0 -
I think suggesting lottery numbers as an answer is very rude.People are asking you for information, no-one is being rude
I agree with the OP that people in this forum can be very abrupt and rude.
They clearly don't know and a simple suggestion of asking the housing association would have been more helpful.
Suggesting the lottery numbers is rather condescending.The smaller the monkey the more it looks like it would kill you at the first given opportunity.

I agree with the OP that people in this forum can be very abrupt and rude. - you're both free to have your opinion, and to have that opinion vindicated by paying for legal advice
They clearly don't know and a simple suggestion of asking the housing association would have been more helpful. - which is what people said.

But what if those really are the numbers..?! You have to be in it to win it 0 -

But all of that has only come after and in direct response to OP being incredibly rude first.
The first six replies were all just asking for more information in order to be able to help OP and even giving possible reasons why their plan may not work or not be worth the problems it could cause. It was only after OPs rude response that people obviously decided it's not worth helping somebody who isn't willing to help themselves and OP putting "with respect" right before being completely disrespectful would have got people's backs up.
Maybe OP should do their own research and give up their own time to find the answers to their question (which can't be answered with the little information we've been provided) instead of asking random strangers to give up their own time to try to help only to have it thrown back in their faces. Being a new member is no excuse for being rude.0 -

Which the same poster called out just earlier today...
That's quite presumptuous and rude.
It's the usual. When people say "With Respect", then you know full well whatever they are about to say has no respect. In the same way "Without meaning to be rude" you know they will be.

OP
If you are exchanging with an assured tenancy and being granted an assured tenancy there is usually nothing to stop you at any given time once the tenancy starts from giving your required notice.
However! You will accept the new property is whatever condition it comes. You will then be liable for any recharge work once you leave.
So if it has rubbish carpets and the Landlord moving out standard says remove them then you need to. If there doors are non standard (such as glazed) you will be billed to replace them. If the property is in poor decorative order you are likely to asked to put it right.
If the person moving out leaves the back garden as a jungle and looking like the local tip..... you will be required to clear it.
It could be expensive unless the property you are moving into is well maintained.
I've seen people do this then wonder why they get bills for holes in doors and repairing punch marks to walls.
Their view was they didn't care about the condition as theybwerent going to live there. However the paperwork will all say you become responsible for any non standard fixtures and fittings or damage and this means the bill falls at your feet.
You may also have to pay gor the gas/ elec test for the exchange as I saw someone mention on here in a recent post. (I hadn't heard of this before)
Be very careful.0
