Mutual Exchange

HomeSwapper

If you are an OHA tenant and want to consider a mutual exchange, HomeSwapper is the new platform we use to allow you to swap with another OHA tenant or the tenant of another social housing landlord.

HomeSwapper is the UK’s largest mutual exchange service for social housing tenants.

As an OHA tenant, you can register with HomeSwapper for free, allowing you to:

  • Create a listing for your home
  • Search for matches based on your needs
  • Get alerts, arrange viewings and apply for a swap, all in one place!

Important information about our mutual exchange process

Before approving a mutual exchange, we carry out checks to make sure the move is suitable. This includes:

  • Your rent account is up to date
  • The property type and size is suitable for your household
  • A property inspection confirms your house meets our relet standards (a copy of our relet standard can be found here)
  • There are no other breaches of tenancy, such as anti-social behaviour
  • Satisfactory references received from landlord of tenant you wish to swap with (if not an OHA tenant)

Please note that we require an application to be submitted through HomeSwapper for all parties who wish to take part in the mutual exchange.
