Buying A Home

Shared Ownership is a great way to buy a home and get on the housing ladder. You buy a share of the property (usually around 50%) and pay rent for the rest. This can make it an affordable option and easier to get a mortgage. To view the Shared Ownership properties we currently have for sale, please visit the NEYH Help to Buy website.

If you're interested in a Shared Ownership property in your area, register your interest by emailing Vicky Denton and Sue McSorley or calling 0113 386 1067.

Shared Ownership Guide

Swap my home

If you live in a social housing property and want to move, you could swap your home.

Home swaps (also called a mutual exchange) take place when two tenants agree to swap homes. Perhaps one wants to downsize and another needs more bedrooms. Or, people may want to move to a different area.

If you want to swap houses with someone who lives in a Leeds Federated property, get in touch with your Neighbourhood Officer. We support customers who want to swap their homes with each other if the properties are suitable for them and the qualifying criteria are met.

You can search for a property in your local area or across the UK with House Exchange where we also advertise Leeds Federated house swaps.
