Moving Home Enquiry Case Management

To Learn More About Moving Home Enquiry Case Management

What is Moving Home Enquiry Case Management?

A Moving Home Enquiry is any contact from a resident asking about a move — whether that is a management transfer for safety or medical reasons, a discretionary transfer through a choice-based lettings (CBL) scheme, a mutual exchange with another social tenant under Part 4 of the Housing Act 1985, downsizing to a smaller property, or a move into supported or specialist housing. The Regulator of Social Housing’s Tenancy Standard expects landlords to manage allocations and lettings in a fair, transparent way and to support residents who want to move; local authority allocation schemes, Section 167 of the Housing Act 1996, and (where applicable) the council’s HomeFinder or CBL platform shape every conversation about a move.

The operational challenge: moving home is rarely about one path. The same enquiry might lead to a council CBL referral, a mutual exchange listing, a downsizing scheme application and a Welfare Benefit Referral all at once. Without one shared record, the resident is sent round the houses — to the council, to the mutual exchange portal, to the housing officer and to the welfare benefits team — repeating the same story to each. A single Moving Home Enquiry case keeps the conversation in one place and the resident moving forward.

Moving Home Enquiry — End-to-End Workflow

  1. Logged — moving home enquiry captured from any channel into one case in the Propsys360 Case Management module on Microsoft Dynamics 365.
  2. Triaged — management transfer (safety, medical, harassment), discretionary transfer, mutual exchange, downsizing or specialist-housing route assigned with reasoning.
  3. Linked — joined automatically to the resident’s Tenancy, prior Move Home, Mutual Exchange, Decant, ASB and Disrepair records; the right context is on the screen from the first contact.
  4. Eligibility assessment — banding under the local choice-based lettings scheme, downsizing-incentive eligibility and any management-transfer criteria assessed and recorded.
  5. Application support — local authority CBL bid placed, mutual exchange listing created, or downsizing application submitted from the case; welfare benefits and packing support referred where needed.
  6. Match found — viewing booked from the case; the linked Move Home or Mutual Exchange case is opened automatically.
  7. Sign-up — outgoing tenancy ended, incoming property processed via the linked Voids case if internal, and the rent account closed cleanly.
  8. Closed — outcome recorded; resident satisfaction captured; lessons fed into allocations and tenancy sustainment.

Moving Home Enquiry Case Management in Propsys360

  1. One record, one version of the truth — every Moving Home Enquiry lives in a single record in the Propsys360 Case Management module on Microsoft Dynamics 365, replacing housing-officer email folders, council CBL portals and mutual-exchange spreadsheets.
  2. Linked across Propsys360 — joined automatically to the resident’s Tenancy, Move Home, Mutual Exchange, Decant, Welfare Benefit Referral, ASB and Disrepair records.
  3. Multi-pathway triage — management transfer, choice-based lettings, mutual exchange, downsizing and specialist housing all handled from the same case, with the right pathway picked at the first contact.
  4. Banding and eligibility built in — the local authority’s allocation scheme banding criteria embedded; reasoning evidenced for every banding decision.
  5. Mutual exchange linkage — listings on Homeswapper or comparable platforms tracked from the case; landlord’s permission decision recorded with reasoning.
  6. Downsizing incentive tracking — financial incentive, removals support and any rent-account adjustment captured against the case.
  7. Welfare-benefits crosswalk — Universal Credit, Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP) and any post-move adjustments referred from the case automatically.
  8. Reporting — enquiry volume by route, average time-to-move, banding fairness audit and Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM) for moves; board and council-partnership review ready.
