Mutual Exchange

The Council is committed to removing barriers to increase mobility and choice for our social housing residents. Tenants in our Council homes who are eligible and want to move, can exchange their home with another Council tenant or housing association tenant.

The Council operates a mutual exchange scheme where applications are dealt with consistently, fairly and in accordance with legislation. The Council has a comprehensive Mutual Exchange, policy sets out the framework for undertaking a mutual exchange, ensuring the implications, obligations and responsibilities are clear throughout the process.
