House Exchange is a national mutual exchange platform that supports both social housing residents and landlords.
Since 2004, we have supported more than 300 landlords and two million residents to manage their mutual exchange.
With expertise and a package of dedicated support and resources, we help an average of 14,000 social housing residents a year to swap homes.
House Exchange has been developed with the help of local authorities and social landlords across the UK and is a founding partner of the Government’s HomeSwap Direct scheme.

Making moves happen
There are many reasons why people may need to move. They may be looking to downsize if their children have grown up and moved out, or they are a growing family needing a bigger home. They may need to relocate to a different area for work reasons or to be closer to friends and family.
As residents’ circumstances change, House Exchange enables them to move to a property more suited to their needs and in turn make full use of our properties.
"The process of implementing House Exchange couldn’t have been easier, with marketing information provided so that we could launch our new mutual exchange service quickly and easily. House Exchange were able to provide everything we needed and six months in we have over 1000 registered customers on the site. The portal is easy to use, and it has been a successful partnership, enabling our customers to move to homes of their choice."

House Exchange manages and operates the online platform only; we are not involved in the processing of mutual exchange, including the condition of listed properties and any repair issues. Partnered landlords are responsible for being transparent with residents on their new and existing property and for carrying out the appropriate checks.
