Mutual exchanges

A mutual exchange is where a Council or housing association tenant exchanges their home with another tenant.

It can be a good way to find a bigger or smaller home, or to move to another area.

You can check whether you are eligible for a mutual exchange online.

Find a mutual exchange

To arrange a mutual exchange, you will need to register with HomeSwapper online.

Through HomeSwapper, you can advertise your home and search for homes to swap with. Registration is free for our tenants.

You will also have access to House Exchange, where you can again advertise your home and search for homes to swap with.

You can also download House Exchange's app.

You might also find an exchange through any of the following:

• word of mouth
• personal advertising
• social media

What happens next

All mutual exchange applications that we receive are managed through HomeSwapper. Via their platform, you can contact us with ease, as well as track the progress of your application.

Once you have found your exchange partner(s), you will need to complete an application form. You can log in to your HomeSwapper account to complete this form.

Please note: Both the incoming and the outgoing tenant must submit their own application forms.

If you do not already have a HomeSwapper account, please complete our online registration form. We will then send you an invitation to complete your application.

Once all completed applications have been received, we will confirm within 42 days whether the exchange can proceed. If all applications have not been received after 14 days, the application will be closed down.
