About Mutual Exchange

You can exchange or swap your home with another ISHA tenant or a tenant from another housing association or council anywhere in the country, provided both landlords give permission. This is called mutual exchange.

You can organise this yourself by advertising in newspapers and shop windows or by filling in a mutual exchange registration form [106Kb], which you can obtain from the ISHA office.

HomeSwapper is for social tenants who want a house swap.  If you live in a council house or housing association property you can swap. You can check their website at www.homeswapper.co.uk or email them at info@homeswapper.co.uk.

There are certain criteria which applies to mutual exchange. These are:

• You must not be in any rental arrears
• You must not benefit by more than one bedroom
• You and the person you exchange with have to accept the condition of both properties as you find them.
