Mutual exchanges are when you find another social housing resident to swap homes with. This option gives you the flexibility to decide which area you’d like to move to, anywhere across the UK.
You can find out more information on eligibility to do a mutual exchange in your tenancy agreement, if you need further information please refer to our Housing Options and Lettings Policy.
Your home is too big or too small for your exchange party's needs
We're only able to accept a mutual exchange where the exchange party will not under-occupy or over-occupy your home.
Your home is adapted for support needs that your exchange party doesn't require
We aim to ensure our homes meet the needs of our residents. It's important adapted properties are allocated to those who need it.
