MAGNA Housing is hoping to make moving home easier for its tenants in West Somerset with the appointment of a new home moves adviser.
The post has been part-funded through the Hinkley Point C Community Impact Mitigation Fund, and Magna Housing has recruited Grace Goddard to work with other housing associations and local councils to enable residents to mutually exchange homes, mainly in the Hinkley Point priority areas of Watchet, Williton, Minehead and Stogursey.
“We try to use our resources wisely so I’m hoping to make best use of Magna’s properties, working with other organisations to provide mutual exchange opportunities and help residents to downsize where possible to free up family homes,” said Grace.
The help provided by her doesn’t only apply to Magna residents - any housing association or council tenants in the area can get in touch for help with mutual exchanges.
Grace added: “I can help residents to apply and advertise their homes on Homefinder Somerset, find suitable properties to move to, arrange viewings, help to organise removal companies, help them contact utility companies and other aspects of moving home.”
