Mutual Exchange
What is a mutual exchange?
It is a where you swap your home with someone else who also wants to swap their home. You may be able to exchange homes with another tenant, even if they have a different landlord, if you are a tenant of:
- Any of the partner landlords
- any housing association, or
-
another council
A mutual exchange is a way of moving home that may help you avoid having to wait a long time on our housing register.
How can I register for a mutual exchange?
You can advertise your property on our on-line exchange system.if you contact your partner landlord they will advise you how to complete a mutual exchange application and the process that occurs.
If you are an East Durham Homes tenant you can also apply on the online HOMESWAPPER service by going to www.HomeSwapper.co.uk. This allows tenants from across the country to advertise and search for an exchange. This is a free service for East Durham Homes tenants.
