Mutual exchange is basically a home swap with another tenant. It could be a council house exchange, flat exchange, bungalow, maisonette or any other property type. You can swap homes with any council tenant or Housing Association tenant in the UK providing they have the right to mutual exchange and want to swap homes with you.
You may wish to swap homes locally or to another part of the country. Either way the hardest part about swapping homes is finding someone to swap your home with.
Mutual Exchange Facts
- You can either home swap with one tenant, known as a direct exchange or you could try and find a three (or more) way property exchange.
- There is no limit to how many people you can have in your home swap, however the more people in the home swap, the more complicated it gets and the more likely it is to fail as you have more people who could change their mind. This being said three way mutual exchanges are becoming increasingly popular as they give you more ways of getting into the property you want. So don't just dismiss them as they are more troublesome!
