How to Exchange Your Council House

Once you register on Housing Help you are able to contact other Home Swappers through the internal messaging system on the website. This allows you make initial communication, without giving away any personal information to start with! After you have established contact and have agreed that you both want to move forward with this then it is time to contact both your landlord and theirs. Both landlords will ask you to complete application forms, which they will review and assess if the house exchange can go ahead. A local council can legally refuse permission if there are:

  • Rent arrears

  • One of the houses is unduly larger for the new party

  • A notice of anti-social behaviour has been issued against any of the exchanging parties

  • Any modifications to a house to suit people with special needs and the exchanging party does not require them.
