Swapping your home

By swapping tenancies with another household, you may be able to move more quickly.

what is home swapping?

Home swapping, sometimes referred to as mutual exchange, means you can mutually swap your home with someone else.

This can be useful if you need more space for your family, want to downsize to a smaller property, or would like to live in another area.

By swapping tenancies with another household, you may be able to move more quickly – and this includes to homes outside of County Durham.

Durham Key Options’ HomeSwap scheme allows you to mutually exchange your property with another social housing tenant without having to wait on the housing register.
