A mutual exchange is a way to swap your home with another social housing tenant.

Home swaps (also called a mutual exchange) take place when two social housing 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 they meet the qualifying criteria and the homes are suitable.

You can search for a home in your local area or across the UK with House Exchange where we also advertise Leeds Federated house swaps. You can also swap with other Social Housing tenants.

Find out more about the home swap process in our handy guide:
