Register to use the service here. You can see what’s available before registering your own house.
You don’t need to be an Ayrshire Housing tenant to register your house. The service is open to tenants of Councils and housing associations across the UK.
Once you have found a potential swop, you must apply to us to progress the exchange using this form:
The other tenant will need to apply to their landlord who may have different rules from us. Please read our own Mutual Exchange Policy.
We may refuse a request for the following reasons:
-
- A Notice of Intention to Raise Proceedings has been served on you because you have broken your tenancy conditions.
-
- We have a Court Order that allows us to evict you.
-
- Our property would be either overcrowded or under-occupied after the exchange.
-
- You have rent arrears or you, or the tenant who would be exchanging with you, has a poor tenancy record.
-
- Your home is suitable for someone with special housing needs and there would be no-one living in the house with those needs.
If we refuse permission we will tell you why if the reason refers to an issue with your tenancy. When you exchange, you must accept the house in the condition you find it. If the decoration is poor, or if the other tenant has damaged the property, we will not repair or redecorate it.
