North Surrey Search Moves is the latest sub-regional scheme to go live, having launched in November 2009.

The scheme covers three borough councils – Elmbridge, Runnymede and Spelthorne -  and has two housing association partners – A2 Dominion and Elmbridge Housing Trust.

Search Moves has a common banding system across the three councils and runs on a fortnightly cycle. All properties are advertised on their website and in a freesheet distributed widely across the sub-region.

To date the North Surrey scheme has handled more than 2,000 from 1,600 housing applicants.
