Swap your home

If you are interested in swapping your home with another council tenant, we can advise you on finding a suitable match. You must be eligible to apply. You may not be able to swap your home if:

• You do not hold a ‘Secure Occupation Contract/Tenancy’
• You are in arrears with your rent
• Action has been started against your tenancy for a breach of other tenancy conditions

If you are not eligible, we can grant conditional consent, e.g. to proceed when any rent arrears have been cleared. If you would like to apply, call us on 01267 228680 and we can talk to you about your circumstances. We will ask you for some details about you and your home and find out why you’d like to swap homes.

If you are registered with Homeswapper, we have now withdrawn our membership. This means that your free membership has come to an end. You can still use their website, but you will be required to pay a subscription fee to continue using the Homeswapper service. You don’t need to re-register; all you need to do is update your subscription. To register with Homeswapper and start looking for suitable properties to swap with – please visit www.HomeSwapper.co.uk 

Please note, this is an external service to the Council, and you will still need to apply to swap your home with the Council, when you have found a potential swap.
