Moving home

Swap your council home

The council is part of 2 home swap services. You can use them to move locally or anywhere in the UK. It’s free to sign up.

  • HomeSwapper: The UK’s largest community of social housing tenants looking to swap homes and replaces the former mutual exchange scheme. A quicker way to move for those who haven't been awarded a high priority banding.
  • House Exchange: With thousands of properties across the UK, this leading not-for-profit service connects council, housing association, and co-operative tenants looking to swap homes.

Once you are registered and have found a suitable partner to exchange with, you will need to complete the mutual exchange form.
