It is up to you to find someone to swap homes with. You can advertise your home and look for an exchange on the HomeSwapper website. You must have your landlords’ permission to swap before you move. It is free for most social tenants to register. If you are a current tenant of a council or housing association and are interested in swapping your home, please contact your landlord for advice.

HomeSwapper allows you to view and arrange swaps on homes across neighbouring counties, even if you have no local connection.

A MultiSwap is a swap involving more than two homes, where a swapper moves into the home of a person who is moving into the home of another person, and so on. This means that although a swapper might not want to move into your home, there may be a property out there that they do want to live in, and whose current tenants want to move to your home. So everyone gets the home they want!
