You are here : Housing and Accommodation / Moving out of SFA
As the licencee you are responsible for notifying the HIC/Housing Provider/Station Housing Officer that you will be vacating your property within 14 days of receiving your Posting Notice. Your move-out will be managed by DE through the Housing Information Centre (HIC).
The process includes the mandatory pre-move out inspection and handover of the property. You will be expected to leave the property in a condition which meets the Move-Out standard, which is essentially the same as the Move-In standard.
To help in the process Defence Estates have published three leaflets on Pre- Move out:
For Scotland
For Ireland
Please note that you may be charged for any repairs that arise from damage not considered to fair wear and tear. More information on the move-out procedures can be found on the DE Website.
Defence Estates issue a useful general guide on Moving out of SFA.
