House swap (mutual exchange)
What to do once you have found a swap partner
You will need written consent from your landlord before you move. In order to do this, all parties must complete a mutual exchange form.
If you are swapping with a tenant from another landlord, then you will need to contact their landlord and they will send you the appropriate forms.
How to apply
Once you have found a swap partner, you can apply to swap your council house. Please visit apply for a mutual exchange (homeswapper.co.uk)
Alternatively, complete our tenancy management contact form to request a paper application form which you can complete and return to us.
What happens next?
The landlords will then consider your request and do any relevant checks on you and the property. Important: until you have the consent of all the relevant landlords, you will not be able to go ahead with the exchange. Your landlord has 42 days to consider this request.
