What are the benefits of joining?

The platform proactively matches potential properties which means you will receive notifications as soon as they become available.
Can anyone join?
All council, registered social housing and co-operative tenants who hold a secure, assured, fixed term or contractual tenancy are potentially eligible for mutual exchange.
If you have an introductory tenancy you do not have the right to mutual exchange, you should check with your landlord to find out what type of tenancy you have and if you have the right to swap.
We have more information on eligible tenancies here.
Bear in mind that the place that you want to swap with has to suit your needs. A landlord may not agree to an exchange if this means that you will be overcrowded in your new home or if you will have more bedrooms than needed.
You may also need to have a clear rent account when you are ready to swap homes.
I don't have access to the internet?
House Exchange is primarily an online service.
If you don't have access to the internet via your own mobile phone, handheld device, personal notebooks or desktop computer there are other options available.
In order to create and access an account online with House Exchange you can ask a friend or family member to register your details on your behalf. They could help manage your account for you by searching for matches and messaging other residents.
Once your account has been set up, you can also access your account at the following locations as they may have internet access:
- At your local library and education centers
- In Internet cafes and coffee shops
- At your place of work
It is also worthwhile to see if your landlord is able to support you with the above.
If your landlord is a partner of House Exchange they have the option of registering you with an offline account which they would manage on your behalf. In this situation, it's important to make sure your landlord has the facilities to do this.
