House Exchange is a national mutual exchange platform, celebrating 20 years of helping social housing residents and landlords.
Since 2004, we have enabled over 300 landlords to offer an advanced mutual exchange platform to their residents, providing two million individuals the opportunity to register at no cost.
Developed with local authorities and social landlords, House Exchange is also a founding partner of the Government’s HomeSwap Direct scheme.
We provide the expertise and resources needed for seamless and confident house exchanges, helping an average of 14,000 residents swap their home each year.

Partnered landlords are responsible for being transparent with residents on their new and existing property and for carrying out the appropriate checks.
