Homeswap Direct Offers Fresh Opportunities for Social Tenants

The Government's new national 'HomeSwap Direct' scheme will make it easier for tenants living in a council or housing association home to find a new property in another part of the country. HomeSwap Direct will mean that for the first time there will be a system in place across the whole of the UK, meaning that tenants looking to move, whether for a job, to be near family or to a property better suited to their needs, will be able to see all the available homes across the whole of the UK, not just those on the website subscribed to by their current landlord. Some councils such as Kettering already run localised schemes but Homeswap Direct will link them all together across England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. Read more on the CLG website.
