Too Many Bedrooms

Priority or preference is given social housing tenants who are under-occupying.

Under-occupying your home means you have more bedrooms than you need and we will use the information you give us to calculate if you are entitled to under-occupation points.

If you are already a tenant of one of the Fife Housing Register Partners and you think you home is too big for your needs you should contact your landlord and let them know. They may be able to help you to find a move to a smaller property that is more suitable for your needs.

You should also register with Homeswap as there could be someone in your area who is looking for a larger property (just like yours).

Do you live in a Fife Council tenancy?

Is your home too big for your needs or unsuitable in other ways, and would you be interested in a move to a more suitable property?

Would you move if there was some practical help available to cut down the hassle?

If you answer yes to these questions, Fife Council's Transfer Incentive Scheme may be of interest to you. Click the link, call 03451 55 00 33 or contact your Housing Management Officer to enquire further.
