It might be the month of Christmas but don’t let that House Exchange slip away to somebody else.
“I want a train set” shouted Billy. “I want a new dolly” screamed Sally.
“I want to exchange this house – it’s too small” cried Mum. [...]
In October, the Scottish National Party decided to scrap the Right to Buy for Social Housing tenants. I’m wondering if the rest of the UK should follow suit. [...]
The 2010 Decent Homes Standard
I should imagine most Council and Housing Association tenants have heard of this government initiative to bring all homes up to standard by the year 2010.

Exchanging your home for improved disabled / adapted property features

Councils, Housing Associations and on-line Mutual Exchange Sites
What is it with landlords ? We pay our income tax, rent and our Council tax. They waste our money by often ruling out the cheapest mutual exchange options. Surely the cheapest option can’t always be the worst one. We know the cheap option and you’ll discover below why it really should be given a better chance. [...]

It is actually illegal to offer money to mutually exchange a property but it is quite common to see people offering money on ill-informed websites or in newspapers. Sometimes the amount offered can be thousands of pounds. I haven’t looked on the HSS website to see if they hold statistics on tenants who have been refused an exchange on the grounds that financial incentives were offered. I would be surprised if they held them. [...]
Hi everyone, we hope you enjoy being part of exchange forums and are making the most of finding your council house exchange with us.
The period from now until Christmas is usually a good time for the website and exchanges. Many people now find that they have more time to look for an exchange now that the children will be going back to school.

Are you going to be more active now looking for an exchange than you were for the summer?
When is the next target date you would like to move? Next school holidays? or don’t you mind when?
