What to do before you exchange:

·       You will need to find someone to exchange with

·       Before you can exchange homes, both you and the person you are swapping with need to complete our Mutual Exchange Form and send this to us

·       Please speak to your Neighbourhood Manager if you need any help in completing the form or want to find our more

·       We will notify all parties applying for an exchange of our decision within 42 days from when we receive the full application, including the correct supporting documentation

To exchange your home you must:

·      Be keeping to your tenancy conditions

·       Not have rent arrears equivalent to more than one month’s rent, unless there are exceptional circumstances. We may make it a condition of our approval that you clear any arrears by a specific date before the mutual exchange takes place

·       Meet any criteria for the type of home you’re exchanging into (for instance, an age restricted home, affordable rent homes)

·       Move to a home that’s a suitable size for your family. If you’re downsizing, you may under occupy by one bedroom in your new home

·       Rectify any repairs or alterations that you are responsible for
