Application to exchange tenancies

We are still accepting applications for mutual exchanges. These are reviewed and you will be told whether the application has been accepted or not. If your application is successful, your mutual exchange will go ahead when it is safe to proceed.

Once you have identified a possible mutual exchange partner, you must tell Homes Plus by completing this form. You will receive an initial response within two working days. Homes Plus will then assess your application and inform you whether the exchange can go ahead, within 42 working days. All parties MUST have written consent from their landlord before an exchange can happen. This form should be completed by all parties wishing to exchange. Before completion of this form you should read all the questions through and read the grounds on why we would refuse your application.
