Seaside & Country Homes

What is Seaside & Country Homes all about? SCH is a housing mobility scheme that offers households living in Council or Housing Association housing in Greater London the opportunity to move home.

The scheme’s landlords manage approximately 3,500 bungalows and flats: along the southwest coast from Cornwall, through the countryside from Shropshire to Cambridgeshire, over to Norfolk and Lincolnshire in the east.

Please view the Areas and Properties section to see where the Seaside & Country Homes are located and to find your ideal home.

This scheme does not guarantee you a move and priority is given to tenants who are giving up larger sized properties.

WHO can apply and HOW

The Seaside & Country Homes scheme is open to households living in Council or Housing Association housing in Greater London where at least one member of the household is aged 60 or above. In cases where other members of the households are under 60 years of age they must be either the partner, joint tenant or registered carer of the lead applicant. We regret we are unable to consider applications where there are more than two persons on the application.
