Community asset transfer

Step 1: Talk to us

Email our community asset transfer officer to discuss the property and your idea.

Step 2: Early checks

We check whether the property is available and suitable for transfer.

Step 3: Build your proposal

You will need to:

• talk to local residents
• explain the community benefits
• show that you can afford to run and maintain the asset

Step 4: Submit a full application

You submit your proposal, including your offer to lease or buy.

Step 5: Consultation and decision

Local people can comment. We then assess the application and aim to make a decision within six months of validation.
