Home swaps, also known as mutual exchanges, let you swap your home with another council or housing association tenant.

Home swaps apply to permanent tenancy exchanges between two or more tenants.  if you're a secure or assured tenant, and not living in specialist housing, you can apply to swap homes.

Another good way to find an exchange partner is to put a notice in local shops or at community notice points.  To improve your chance of finding someone to swap with, it helps to give details of:

• Type of home you live in (such as house or flat)
• Number of bedrooms
• Area or street you live in
• Positive features that might make your home popular (such as a new kitchen or big garden)
• The type of home you want to move to
• Number of bedrooms you need
• What areas you're willing to consider
• Anything else that is important to you.

When you've found someone to swap with, we can help you apply for an exchange either by phone, online or in person at our Customer Service Centre.

If you need any help or advice on home swaps, please contact our Customer Services Team by email or phone 01933 234450.

Please note - only qualifying tenants are allowed to swap home.  If you are a starter tenant, or you've broken the terms of your tenancy agreement, you may not be allowed to move.
