Transfers can be completed any day with the current contract holder and proposed contract holder. The proposed contract holder is required to pay the first weeks rent, water and service charge payment prior to signing any transfer documentation. The current and proposed contract holder will sign an RHW10 ‘form of transfer’, which will be co-signed by the CHO (the RHW10 will replace the previous deed of assignment). A copy of the existing contract should be given with an RHW2 form, along with a copy of the most recent gas safety certificate and electrical inspection.
Once completed, the original contract holder will no longer have a legal right or responsibility to the property; however, they can remain living there should the new contract holder permit them to.
Any other relevant paperwork (Council tax notification, direct debit applications etc.) should be completed during this appointment.
