How do I apply for a mutual exchange?

If you find someone to exchange with, you will need to complete an application form using ‘Swaptracker’ in order to apply for permission.  Swaptracker is part of the Homeswapper service and allows you to apply and keep track of progress with your application.

If you already have a Homeswapper account, you can log into this and from the dashboard, click on the ‘Apply’ button in the Find a Swap box.

If you do not have a Homeswapper account, please contact your Housing Officer who will be able to email you a link to sign up.

Once you have set up an account you will be able to find out more information on how to use Swaptracker under the Help and Support section.

You will also need to pay for the landlord safety checks and any costs involved in your move.

For further advice on mutual exchanges and how to register on Homeswapper, please contact your Housing Officer.
