Thinking about moving?
Have you been thinking about moving home? Maybe it’s for a new job, more space or simply to be closer to friends and family. Did you know that Great Places is a partner of choice for an organisation called House Exchange who can help you find a mutual exchange match?
House Exchange is a free service for Great Places customers that brings people together who are interested in swapping their homes. There are thousands of people looking to swap their properties right across the UK, so your ideal home may only be a few clicks away.
There are just three easy registration steps to get involved:
- Name and contact details
- Current address, property information and landlord
- An idea of where you want to move to and what you are looking for
Just enter your details at www.houseexchange.org.uk and once Great Places has verified you are an existing customer, you can start looking. The site will also give you useful hints and tips of what to include in your descriptions and the importance of using photos for your listing – most people would prefer to see what a home looks like before considering a swap. The website helps you to search, find matches and contacts other council or housing association residents who want to swap their homes. There’s also a free House Exchange App available on the Apple App and Google Play stores, so you can search on the move!
Don’t worry if you’re not that tech savvy and don’t have access to the internet; we can help you get access to this service if you contact our Customer Hub on 0300 123 1966 and select option 3, or ask to speak to our Re-Housing Specialist.
