Mutual Exchanges
We have phased out the previous mutual exchange scheme and replaced it with a new service provided by HomeSwapper.
The HomeSwapper service not only holds details of those wishing to carry out an exchange within Newcastle-under-Lyme, but also of those wishing to move to or from other parts of the country.
Aspire Housing has funded this service to enable our customers to join FREE of charge. Registration is quick and easy – all you need to do is register at www.homeswapper.co.uk. Once your registration has been approved by us, you will be able to go on line and view matches.
Please note that the landlord of everyone involved in the exchange must agree to it. Customers must not move until written permission has been obtained and a move date agreed.
