    Hi Guys not sure if there is already a thread on this.

    Just wondering if you were on the list for a transfer to another council house, how long would ya have to wait.

    if anyone that has transferred wants to give there example, that would be great.

    Its pretty much how long is a piece of string.......
    It varies from county to county- and is dependent on your status. As you currently have an abode- you would not be considered high priority. If you post more information people might be in a better position to offer advice.

    I see.
    Dan- you will be on the list- but as you're currently homed, even in less than satisfactory surroundings, you would have a much lower priority than any of those on the list who are currently being supported by the council, the HSE and the DSFA with rent support etc.

    I'd keep my powder dry and wait to see what happens with NAMA etc. Countrywide- councils have a need for ~ 140,000 more council properties, NAMA could potentially be a tool for delivering a large number of these (providing it doesn't ghetto'ise entire areas- as it did in the past).

    Probably organising a private transfer would be a better bet for you OP. If I were you I'd put an ad in the buy & sell, city ads, all those free ad papers, and I'd keep renewing them for months till I got what I was looking for. It'd be quicker than waiting on the council to transfer you; that could take years and years.
