3. Homeswapper

If you're already a Bolton a Home tenant you can apply to do a mutual exchange, which is a swap with another social housing tenant.

To find someone to swap with you can join Homeswapper, a website that allows you to get in touch with other social housing tenants looking to swap properties.

You can search for swaps locally or nationally.

For more information, visit the homeswapper website and you can also view our Mutual Exchange leaflet.

If however, you've already found someone you'd like to swap homes with, and you've viewed each others properties; each household will need to complete a mutual exchange application form available below which needs to then be emailed to: housingservicesadminsupport@boltonathome.org.uk or alternatively post to: Housing Services Admin Support, Bolton at Home, 98 Waters Meeting Road, Bolton, BL1 8SW.
