House Swapping and house trading are part of the council schemes

The council have a scheme for a number of house swapping scenarios. If the tenant is no longer happy living in a specific area they can apply to transfer to another council property outside of the area. Alternatively, there is what is called a ‘mutual exchange’ offer that allows the tenant to swap houses with another council tenant. Both tenants would have signed a register that is available at the council housing offices. The tenant will see who they would like to swap with on the register and apply for the swap with the council housing office. Both tenants need to be in agreement and the swap then takes place.

There is also ‘low-cost home ownership schemes’ which allow consumers to part-rent or part-buy a property.
