    I have to start looking for a place in the New Year, and I'm getting RA for where I currently live. I was just wondering if anyone knew the procedure for moving house with RA. Is there anything I can do to make it run smoothly, or am I looking at a bit of a nightmare? I was told the CWO would have to come out and assess me again, but I'm in college until May, and need to move in March, so I can see these surprise visits conflicting...

    How far away from your current location are you moving? If its the same cwo it may take less time but yes they do have to reassess everything and revisit. Just tell them ur in college and what times you would be at home.

    If moving to a different area, you have to start from scratch sadly. If the same area, much easier. Takes a wee while so be prepared for that gap for rent.

    Its the same town, but there are four different CWOs for the different parts of the town, I'm about 80% likely to end up with a new one =/

    Well at least you will not have to start from scratch

    well if you get a new cwo it will be starting from scratch really. Just tell them your in college and your only home at whatever hours. Hopefully they can work around it and visit u some time your in
