Why should I consider?
Mutual exchanges can often be a quicker way of moving to a new home rather than applying for a transfer.
Who can apply?
Mutual exchange is available for public sector tenants. You are a public sector tenant if your landlord is the local council or a housing association.
You can move home using mutual exchange by swapping your home with that of another public sector tenant in the High Peak or elsewhere in the country.
Request for Mutual Exchange
If you are a High Peak Borough Council Tenant and you have found someone to do a mutual exchange with and you are both in agreement, both parties need to apply online here.
Checks will be made to ensure that neither applicant is in rent arrears, in breach of their tenancy agreement and that your current home and garden are in good condition.
