Mutual exchange
Mutual exchange is the process where you literally exchange homes with another tenant.

Community has joined with Homeswapper to offer you a local, national and mutual exchange service. Homeswapper is the UK’s largest community of social housing tenants looking swap homes. More details can be found at www.homeswapper.co.uk.

When you find someone to exchange with you should contact them and arrange to visit each other's home and check any possible problems, for example, neighbours or noise.

You will also need to check the condition of the property, as you will be accepting it in its existing condition, including decorations and fittings. If you agree to exchange, both of you must have your landlord's permission before you move. We will not agree if:

  • you or the other household have rent arrears
  • the other household would be too big or too small for your existing home
Community's mutual exchange register is kept in the reception area of the Community Office at Chalk Farm. You can look through it to see if there are any possible exchange partners. To put yourself on the register, call us on 020 7428 4328. Alternatively you can register by filling out the Homeswapper form to the right of this page.
