Manchester Move

Manchester Move is a choice-based lettings system and is used by Manchester City Council and approximately 20 registered providers, including us who advertise empty homes throughout the city.

You can read the re-housing policy here.

If you are already a tenant with us, you must apply for re-housing with Manchester Move and we'll manage your application.

If you are not a tenant with us, you will get an email from Manchester Move to let you know which housing association is dealing with your application.

If we're selected to process your application, please see below for more details.

You can help reduce delays by managing your application online, in particular by uploading photographs of your documents straight on to your application, rather than sending them in by post or handing them in.

To do this, when you log into Manchester Move, you will notice a blue button that says 'Upload supporting documents'.

You can click on this button and upload the documents required. These will attach directly onto your rehousing application and automatically send a message to the landlord handling your application. Please ask a friend or relative for help if necessary.

If you are unable to upload your documents you will need to post them to:

Wythenshawe Community Housing Group
Wythenshawe House
8 Poundswick Lane
Wythenshawe
Manchester
M22 9TA

You will be able to place bids on any homes you may be eligible for by logging onto your Manchester Move application.

Please note, all offers depend on a satisfactory Money Health Check to make sure you can afford all the costs.

Regularly log on to your Manchester Move application as homes can be advertised daily. You will not be considered for any home unless a bid has been placed.

Some of our homes are allocated using a Local Lettings Policy, for more information please see the question below "What is a Local Lettings Policy?"

You will need to fully fill in the medical related questions on your Manchester Move application. This will mean you'll need a medical assessment and you'll be required to provide supporting information.

Please read section 16 of the Allocations policy.

This explains the reasons why applicants are placed on the review list, the review process and the criteria for a successful appeal.

Please note, if a decision is made to remove you from the review list, this is the date your application can be made live and you can join the waiting list.

It's your responsibility to make sure your re-housing application explains your current circumstances.

If any of your circumstances change please log on to your Manchester Move application and report a change in circumstances.

Please note, if you are made an offer but you have not updated your Manchester Move to reflect your current circumstances the offer could be withdrawn.

You will be contacted by a member of our Tenancy Management team, we will review your circumstances and arrange a virtual viewing. If you are interested in the offer a Money Health Check will be arranged to make sure the property is affordable for you.
