Mutual exchange is only available to public sector tenants. You are a public sector tenant if your landlord is a council or a housing association.

You can use the Home-Link Mutual Exchange scheme to find another home you would like to exchange your own home for in the Cambridgeshire sub-region or elsewhere in the country. For an exchange to take place both tenants and landlords all have to agree to the exchange.

The Home-Link Mutual Exchange scheme is now part of the new National Home Swap Direct (NHSD)scheme. This means that customers now have access to available properties both locally and nationally. The NHSD was set up by the Government to give tenants access to a wider range of properties than ever before, and the chance to move anywhere in the country. The NHSD scheme can allow customers to take up new job opportunities or move closer to their family across a much wider area.

If you register for mutual exchange on this site it means your home will be advertised here for other tenants to see.

When you register on this site you can say what sort of property you are looking for. Then you can search for possible matches at any time. You need to log in to see the contact details for the tenant of the property that you may be interested in.

You can for search for a home now by using the Find A Home button on the left hand menu or by clicking here.

If you do find someone you'd like to exchange with and you are both happy with each others property you need to ask permission to exchange by completing an application form.

You can print an application form from this website and take or send it to your landlord.
