The Mutual Exchange route to moving home
Published: Wednesday 17 January 2024Are you a current Stockport Homes or Housing Association tenant?
Are you looking to move home but want to retain your social tenancy?
Are you struggling to obtain a property move via Homechoice due to a low number of bidding points?
The Mutual Exchange route could be for you!
142 Mutual Exchanges were completed from April to December 2023 – more tenants move by Mutual Exchange than by Homechoice Transfer
A mutual exchange is where you exchange your home with another Council, Stockport Homes or Housing Association tenant. Tenants with a secure or assured tenancy can apply via the new Homechoice Customer Housing Portal:
www.homechoicestockport.org (further information available here)
The Customer Housing Portal contains an automatic property matching facility and enables direct communication with other registered tenants to help you identify and secure a direct 2-way property match
Struggling to find a direct 2-way property match? A multiple-property swap might be the answer.
