If you are interested in a move, a home swap between you and another social housing tenant is something you may want to explore. It can happen for many reasons, such as needing more (or less) space, moving for work, or to be closer to family.
It’s a great option for social housing tenants who can’t access or don’t want to wait for the normal allocation process. It gives you more control and means you’re able to choose a home that suits your needs better in a place you want to live.
Wandle pays to be a member of two exchange services below, which means you can register for free as a Wandle tenant. Once you register, we verify your details and then you can get started.

If you want to transfer to a different home, you need to register directly with the borough you currently live in, as we do not maintain a transfer list of our own. This will give you access to their waiting list, and to bid or be nominated to local authority and other housing association homes in the borough, meaning you have a wider choice.
