House Exchange is the largest not for profit mutual exchange system on the market. We specialise in facilitating introductions between council or housing association tenants who are looking to move home. We have over 1.7 million residents that can access our site for free nationwide. What makes us different is that we are a landlord too; working in partnership with other landlords helps us to improve mobility for residents across the UK.
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. We have invested in providing a great team to support our partners 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!
