SwapShop

What is the Swap Shop all about?

Our Swap Shop aims to make swapping homes in South Beds quick and easy for all Council and Housing Association tenants.

You can use the Swap Shop in 3 ways:-

  1. You can advertise your home;
  2. You can look for someone to swap homes with; or
  3. You can do both at the same time!

Every home available to swap is listed on our database. You can look for possible swaps on-line - just fill in our Search Form below. It's then up to you to contact the other tenant direct.
