Apply for a house exchange
When you have found a suitable swap on Homeswapper you will need to complete a mutual exchange form (PDF) and send the completed form to neighbourhoodhousing@centralbedfordshire.co.uk, together with all the required documents.
Please note: Email is not a secure medium. You should take appropriate measures to ensure any personal information sent via email is protected.
What happens next?
When we have received your fully completed application, we will:
- check whether you are eligible to exchange your tenancy
- ask other landlords for a reference, if necessary
- inspect your home and advise you of any repairs or removals required
- confirm by letter if your application has been agreed or refused
- arrange for you and the other parties swapping to sign the legal documents
Any rent owed must be paid before the assignment deed is signed and you will be required to pay four weeks rent paid in advance for your new home.
We have a maximum of 42 days to make a decision but try to do this sooner if possible.
