Home Exchange

Moving To Another Area  
The 'Homeswapper' scheme enables people to move from one local authority area to another throughout the United Kingdom, depending on local allocation policies. To register for the service, or find out more information, you may either visit the Homeswapper website, using the link on the right.

Mutual Exchange (Swapping Home)
You can swap homes with another Council tenant, a tenant of a housing association, or a tenant of another Council. To apply for a swap you first need to complete a mutual exchange form (click on the link in the related pages section on the right). Your details will be advertised in the table below and in the tenants newsletter 'Tenant Matters'. Once you have found somebody to swap with, you’ll both need to contact your landlord for permission.

Please note that if you intend swapping with someone who is not a tenant of this Council they must approach their landlord.

All exchanging tenants must get written approval from their landlord(s) before processing with the exchange. If you exchange without permission you may be required to move back.

A Mutual Exchange May Be Refused For A Number Of Reasons: -

• A property is not a suitable size.
• A property has adaptations that the new tenant does not need.
• Either tenant is in breach of their Tenancy Conditions.
• Legal action for possession of either home is in progress.

 

If you are interested in any of the below mutual exchanges please contact 355667 who will be able to provide you with the relevant contact details.

If you are successful in finding a swap please put your request in writing to the Lettings Team Manager, Housing Services, Anvil Court, Church Street, Abertillery. NP13 1DB.
