Mutual exchange

Swapping your home with another tenant is known as a "mutual exchange". As one of our tenants, you can swap your home with another tenant in Dacorum or with a tenant in another area of the United Kingdom.

It's important to remember that if you move to a different home using the mutual exchange process, you agree to accept the new property in its current condition.

Advertise and search for a home

You can advertise your council home and search for another tenant to exchange your home with on the:

House Exchange website

Many social landlords across England use this system and it gives you access to thousands of properties across the country. House Exchange is a database of information given by tenants that want to move.

House Exchange has created a series of useful video guides. These help you to navigate the site and provide answers to common queries.
