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.
