Moving because your home is being demolished
If you are a council or partner landlord tenant, and your
landlord makes a decision that you have to move for works to take
place or because your home is being demolished, this process is
known as ‘decanting’.
When this happens, we will do our best to ensure that you and
your family are re-housed to a home that you will be happy in.
Your landlord will usually talk to you about all the re-housing
options available to you and your family before you need to decant
your home. Some decant schemes may involve new homes being built.
Others may involve the right to return to your old home once works
have finished.
Whatever the options, we will try to help you make an informed
decision about the best choices for you and your family.
If you own a home in a block that is to be decanted it is
unlikely that you will be offered housing by the council or a
partner landlord. You will be offered advice about the other
options available to you.
