House Exchange is the largest not-for-profit home swapping system in the market, with hundreds of landlords signed up as partners. We specialise in facilitating introductions between social and council housing tenants who are looking to move home.
As a social landlord we have drawn on our knowledge and experience to design a national mobility solution for tenants. We have been helping residents find mutual exchanges for over a decade.
We believe that technology alone is never the answer, which is why we have invested in providing a team to support social landlords and ensure they gain maximum value from their investment in our product. We continue to embrace innovation whilst still providing great value to our partners, allowing partners to deliver efficiencies against their housing objectives.
We are Landlords too!

We are focussed on providing a great service to tenants and partners and we continue to work hard to ensure that we remain dedicated to being the best we can be.
