The Draft Fareham Housing Mutual Exchange Policy

Decision status: Deleted

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To seek Executive approval for the Draft Fareham Housing Mutual Exchange policy for adoption.

 

Inder Part IV of the Housing Act 1985, all eligible tenants of social housing have the right to exchange their tenancies with one another.  This is referred to as ‘mutual exchange’.

 

The new Mutual Exchange Policy provides comprehensive information regarding the mutual exchange process, the background and relevant legislation, including the recent changes made by the Regulator of Social Housing.

 

At its meeting on the 27 June, the Housing Scrutiny Panel approved the document to go to the Executive with no comments or suggestions.  Following Executive agreement on 15 July, the draft Mutual Exchange policy was circulated for public consultation from 29 July to 16 September.

 

The report summarises the outcome of the consultation and details the changes made in response.  

Decision:

RESOLVED that the Executive:

 

(a)  agrees the Draft Fareham Housing Mutual Exchange policy be adopted;

 

(b)  notes the outcome of the consultation, and the changes made to the Policy and accompanying documents; and

 

(c)  agrees to delegate powers to make any amendments needed in line with future updates to Government guidance to the Director of Housing, following consultation with the Executive Member for Housing.
