Affordable Rent
If you need to move to a more suitable affordable rental property in Bedford, we operate a choice-based letting system – which means you can choose the homes you would like to be considered for.
Please note, there is a lot of demand for transfers – and normally you will only be considered if you have been in the property more than a year and don’t owe rent or have any breaches of tenancy.
If you do not live in Bedford, please contact your local council to discuss your options.
Visit our online lettings website MyHomeOptions for more information.
Mutual Exchange
If you already rent a bpha home, but need to move because the property no longer meets your needs, you may (with our written permission) be able to swap homes with another tenant by doing a Mutual Exchange.
See more information on our Mutual exchange page.
Low Cost Home Ownership
Buying a home may be more affordable than you think. Our sales department ‘Options to buy’ has helped thousands of people across eastern and central England to buy a place of their own with our range of affordable home ownership schemes.

Right to Buy
If you have bought your home from us using your preserved right-to-buy, you can sell it at any time at whatever price you can get on the open market. If you sell within the first five years you will have to repay part of the discount that you were allowed and part of any profit you make.
Before you go ahead and market your property you should first give us the opportunity to buy it back from you (unless you purchased it more than 10 years ago). Please contact us for more information.
